Singer-Pianist Michelle Greenberg began her career in Paris in an underground jazz Cabaret, Le Chevalier du Temple, where her gig went from 1-4 in the morning. Singing for her supper by night, she spent her days learning to swing, studying recordings of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan as well as Brazilian vocalists like Elis Regina and Gal Costa.

For 20 years, Michelle has performed at events and celebrations with some of Chicago's finest musicians and bands, and in many North Shore venues, including the former North Shore Sheraton, where she was house pianist for three years. She also appears on stage with Chicago Cabaret Professionals, bringing her warm, jazzy style to Chicago's growing cabaret audience.

Michelle sings in Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Yiddish (having performed with the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band and the Chicago Klezmer Ensemble.). Still, she is most at home with the American standard songbook as expressed through the intimate art of the singer-pianist.

Michelle recently completed a year-long run, singing and playing Wednesday evenings at the Coq d'Or room in the Drake Hotel, establishing herself on Chicago's jazz scene.
