Bre Gregg is the voice of Red Bird, a roots band in Portland, Oregon, and a wildly soulful singer and songwriter. When she opens her mouth, you hear a rich musical history of back alley clubs filled with deeply authentic swamp soul, visceral blues and smokey jazz. Her voice is technically superb after years of study and performance, but her ability to connect with the music and with her audiences make her performances profoundly intimate.  

Rock Era magazine had this to say, “Bre's amazing, soulful and flawless voice is going to stun you…it's an instant charm I have never felt before, while her ability to hit every high and low note perfectly will leave you speechless.” Good Day Oregon compared her to an impressive list of artists, including Bonnie Raitt, Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone.  

Even more than her love of performance is her ability to use music to connect us, and as an avenue to help people access vulnerability as a way to heal in times of trauma. For the past five years, she has used her songwriting and teaching talents as a songwriter for the Oregon Symphony's Lullaby Project working with parents experiencing houselessness and incarceration to co-write lullabies for their children.  Click here to listen to Bre's interview on OPB's Think Out Loud about the program! 

Bre also owns her own voice studio, which she started over 20 years ago as a means to support her performance career. She completely fell in love with teaching and finds it one of the most rewarding endeavors of her life. She believes that singing is for absolutely everyone, and loves to help people find their unique sound. 

Bre is also very proud to have co-founded She's Speaking with Beth Wood and Kristen Grainger - an organization that creates forums and spaces for women's artistry to be heard by all people.
