Four-time MAC Award Nominee for Outstanding Vocalist, Mychelle presents a collection of jazz-infused selections by fellow Francophiles (Josephine Baker, Kurt Weill, Alberta Hunter, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter and Mabel Mercer), as well as contemporary and traditional French songs along with anecdotes that may answer the question: “Fries, frites or chips?!”

Musical cohorts: Michael Roulston (piano) and Jonathan “Kitch” Kitching (drums)

“In this funky French jazz show, Colleary stormed the Bastille... Simply put, c'etait magnifique."

Barbara and Scott Siegel, TheaterMania.com

Unpretentious, irreverent, and often funny, Mychelle has a quirky honesty that is effervescently entertaining, playfully challenging the audiences to listen deeply, blurring musical genres and crafting her own jazz style with arrangements that are invitingly familiar and unexpectedly daring. 

A California native, honorary New Yorker and now Londoner, Mychelle has performed professionally in theatre, rock bands, symphonies, top-40 bands, folk-rock duos, and jazz ensembles of various sizes. Currently she finds her home between the storytelling side of cabaret and the harmonic improvisational side of jazz.
