Known for her expressive artistry and remarkable versatility, Jackie Rose is a vocalist, pianist, songwriter, session musician, and musical event curator whose performances span Florida, Nashville, and the Baltimore-Washington region. Her work encompasses jazz clubs, songwriter rounds, private events, piano bars, and collaborative live productions, blending exceptional musicianship with warmth, elegance, and genuine connection.

Raised in a highly musical family, Jackie began studying piano at an early age under the guidance of her mother before pursuing violin and voice throughout her childhood. She spent years performing and competing in classical piano, opera, musical theater, and chamber music before earning degrees in Piano Performance, Vocal Performance, and Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

While her classical training continues to influence her artistry, Jackie has become widely recognized for her work in jazz, songwriting, improvisation, and collaborative performance. She has appeared in jazz clubs and venues across the country, served as a bandleader and music director for live productions and special events, and regularly collaborates with an accomplished network of musicians representing a wide variety of musical styles.

Beyond the stage, Jackie writes and records original music in Nashville showcasing her passion for creating music that is emotionally honest, deeply human, and artistically engaging has made her a sought-after performer for intimate gatherings and distinguished events alike.

A growing part of Jackie's career is dedicated to musical event curation-carefully shaping the sound, atmosphere, and flow of experiences ranging from elegant dinners and cocktail receptions to large-scale celebrations and live productions. Her unique ability to pair the right music with the right moment makes her the perfect addition to the Royal Tea Society experience.

"We're honored to welcome Jackie Rose to The Tea Room at Lady Ray's for this special event," said Tim Vondell, owner of Lady Ray's. "Her ability to create an elegant, inviting atmosphere through music perfectly complements the vision we have for the Royal Tea Society.
