"Whether she's interpreting Antonio Carlos Jobim, Pat Metheny, or Chris Isaak, newcomer Margret Grebowicz's unpolished, raw vocals have a disarming way of stripping a song down to its bare essentials, an approach that teases a uniquely terse beauty out of her music."
--Downbeat Magazine

"Her intonation is soft and sung with utter nakedness, bereft of ceremony and circumstance so much so that the sheer emotion of each word she sings is enough to take the breath away."
--All About Jazz

"Pure," "wistful," "inviting"... This is how All About Jazz New York describes the sound of this self-taught vocalist. Formerly of the group Com Você, Margret has just released her first solo CD on Sunnyside Records. The name means “with you” and, as Cadence magazine writes, “Com Você is with us from start to finish as they pursue dreamy landscapes and fill each one with rhythms that sashay eloquently… Bossa nova and samba have been around for quite some time; yet, this ensemble delivers each piece with a freshness that proves memorable.” The repertoire is heavy with Brazilian music, classic and contemporary, but also ventures into lush wordless pieces, Polish poetic song, and sweet, lyrical perspectives on contemporary pop tunes. Peter Westbrook writes in jazzreview.com: “Overall it is remarkable how these seemingly diverse elements fit together…. It all works, as the singer bends each piece to her unique styling, hands it off to the various soloists, and then reclaims it for a final rendering…. For lovers of both jazz and Brazilian music, this is something fresh that deserves a hearing.” Downbeat Magazine describes her voice as "gossamer" and her performance as "masterful."

Margret is based in New York City and performs on the last Sunday of every month at the legendary 55 Bar in Manhattan. The repertoire includes music by Arto Lindsay, Caetano Veloso, Pat Metheny, Rufus Wainwright, and Blondie, in addition to standards. Her new CD features Ben Monder, Scott Colley, and Antonio Sanchez. Again, from Downbeat: "Her Portuguese is suited so comfortably to her singing that after the understated, emotionally cautious Rufus Wainwright opener, Caetano Veloso's 'Saudosismo' feels breezy and carefree, as if the self-conscious girl who sang 'Peach Trees' on the opening track had suddenly thrown a tire over one of the branches and started to swing."

Margret has also performed as a side-musician with composers Vardan Ovsepian and MaryAnn McSweeney, and writes lyrics for and sings in the original pop duo project, Sauertooth.
