Nate Topo is a Detroit-based composer, saxophonist, pianist, and vocalist known for his distinctive tone and memorable live performances. A professional musician since the age

of fifteen, he has become a dynamic presence in Detroit’s music scene. 

At an early age, he became a regular at the legendary Bert’s Marketplace sessions in

Eastern Market, sharing the stage with artists such as Martha Reeves and James Carter.

Nate has also been a staple at the Detroit Jazz Festival, performing there three consecutive years, most recently alongside Artist-in-Residence Jason Moran in 2025. 

His music has taken him beyond Detroit to Los Angeles and New Orleans, where he has performed alongside jazz greats such as Charlie Gabriel and Shannon Powell, including several appearances at historic Preservation Hall.
Nate’s tone is shaped by a rare collection of vintage saxophones, blending the warmth of
early jazz with a modern creative edge. Whether interpreting jazz standards, funk classics, or performing his original music, often described as soul pop with a Motown influence, he adapts each set to the room while staying true to the musical foundation that influences his work.

With a world class instrument and a soul of light, Tiffany Gridiron is simply unforgettable,” Sunny Wilkinson.

Tiffany Gridiron is a gifted jazz vocalist and songwriter who radiates joy and generosity on stage, even when singing the most haunting of songs. Her sultry vocals and playful approach have excited audiences in the United States, Japan, Finland and South Korea.  

Tiffany’s love of singing began as a child in her family church where both of her parents served as musicians. In her early twenties, inspired by the debut album of Jill Scott, Tiffany sought out voice lessons that serendipitously put her in contact with the amazing jazz vocalist and educator Sunny Wilkinson. Through jazz standards, Sunny introduced Tiffany to a world of poetry and improvisation that would profoundly impact the rest of her life. Studying works of  Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn and many other vocal legends helped Tiffany to find her own voice and style.
