December 12, 2022Staci created exactly the kind of atmosphere with her singing and playing that we were trying to create at our dinner. She was friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Gig length: 60 - 180 minutes
I'm available prior to booking for consults on music content/format desired, and after booking for tailored set lists.

For duo/ensemble, I can bring up to a 6 piece band - jazz/contemp repertoire with sound similar to Diana Krall.
Audience can expect music to match the mood desired by event planner - from warm upscale elegant to piano bar with singalongs.
Most of all, event planners and audience experience a smooth, professional process and effortlessly rich sound - a feeling of connected celebration.
Singer-songwriter Staci Braun’s adult-contemporary pop originates at the crossroads of wisdom gleaned from intensely complex life journeys and the innocence inherent in the promise of new beginnings.
Staci’s elegance as a songwriter and the visceral emotionality of her vocals and lyrics recall Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell. But, after battling fear and others’ expectations, she’s reclaimed her life and cultivated an artistry all her own.
Her journey spun through classical piano and voice in her early years, to pop/contemporary, then country/bluegrass/gospel, to her home in jazz-blues.
A "recovering" ER doctor, Staci is also a recording artist and producer, as well as a writer and poet as alter ego "the bast" - check out (link hidden) and music releases on Spotify/Apple Music et al.
