3rd Coast Vocals

Born in the heart of Nashville's vibrant music scene, 3rd Coast Vocals brings together four exceptional voices to create something truly magical.

Our name pays homage to the rich musical heritage of the Gulf Coast—the "Third Coast" of America—where jazz, blues, and soul have flourished for generations. We carry that spirit into every performance, blending the sophistication of classic vocal jazz with contemporary sensibilities.

Since forming, 3rd Coast Vocals has captivated audiences across the Southeast with our tight harmonies, dynamic arrangements, and genuine connection with listeners. From intimate jazz clubs to grand concert halls, we deliver performances that honor the great vocal traditions while pushing creative boundaries.

As Beegie Adair so eloquently put it, we're "a vocal ensemble that hears, sings and moves as one voice." Whether we're swinging hard or breaking hearts with a tender ballad, our mission is always the same: to share our love of music and leave audiences moved, inspired, and wanting more.

"
They can swing, and swing hard, then they can turn around and break your heart with a ballad. They can, literally, "Fly You to Forever", or take you to the "Continental" for a little musical cuisine.
— Beegie Adair, Grammy-nominated Jazz Pianist
