Joyce Grant is one of the Bay Area’s most beloved vocalists, known for her rich tone, warm stage presence, and deep musical storytelling. Often described as having a voice like “dark honey,” Joyce brings elegance, soul, humor, and heart to every song she sings. A remarkable musical connection: Joyce is the great-great-niece of ragtime legend Scott Joplin , carrying a powerful link to American music history into every performance. Behind her is the mighty Walnut Creek Jazz Band , an 18-piece jazz orchestra led by Jeffrey Mark Paull , founding member, Executive Director, and lead alto saxophonist.
