Gregg Marquardt

Gregg is a versatile singer with 30 years of experience. Skilled in classical and jazz styles, he has professional experience with classical chorus, jazz trio, vocal jazz quartet and big band.

He began with training and performance in classical voice. Soon, however, he transitioned into jazz, modeling his voice after the great male singers from Mel Tormé and Frank Sinatra to contemporaries Mark Murphy and Kurt Elling. He has performed at many Minnesota venues, has been a vocalist on a number of CDs, and released his vocal jazz album Starting Point in 2001.

Gregg's objective as a singer is to develop his voice as a combo instrument. For example, when he sings with three instrumentalists, he isn't a vocalist backed up by a trio but, rather, a member of a quartet. Along that pathway, he's also honored to make his creativity a part of the Spirit United experience.
