  3. Grace Peña: Heartstrings!


Grace Peña reprises her NYC solo cabaret debut Heartstrings!, originally performed at 54 Below on September 3rd. From Streisand to Sondheim to Adele, every number is handpicked for its personal connection — whether it's a tune that takes you home, a tribute to the power of friendship, or a song that carries you through a season of change. With Musical Director Jack Beal on bass, David Mayers on guitar, Analise Levesque on piano, and Shane Corwin on drums, Peña blends laughter, gratitude, and raw honesty in equal measure.  

Originally from Glendora, California, Grace Peña is a recent graduate of Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester, Virginia, where she earned her Master’s degree in CCM Voice Pedagogy. Raised in a home filled with timeless classic movie musicals and jazz standards, she developed a deep love for music early in life—one that continues to inspire her every day.
