Jill G - Live @ Frankies

Ladies and Gents, allow me to introduce to you, Greenville's newest pop/country/anything-goes vocal star, my friend Jill. You can normally find her singing in the shower, her kitchen, at a party, in the car, downtown, or anywhere that she is standing...sometimes in front of a mirror or window reflection. Her influences are the great Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Carrie Underwood, and basically any diva vocalists that hits notes that most can't. Oh, but Jill Graves can. That's without a doubt. She hits them, and hits them hard. Occasionally they even seem to hit back. She has had a great support system though. Her roommate and vocal "coach", Lindsey, is by her side day by day, smiling and telling her "Mmmm yea, that sounds really good Jill". Words of encouragement from fans such as @ssuttles3, who Jill tells me is her biggest fan, help keep Jill's dream alive. If you have ever been around this vocal talent,  you know you are unable to keep the smile off your face. Literally you won't be able to stop laughing in utter disbelief of the amazing sounds coming from within her. It brings tears to Lindsey's eyes every time she goes for a big one. Recently Jill wanted to capture her audio in digital form. The end of the year kickball party was last night, held at Frankie's Fun Park. A business that provides non-stop fun and fills dreams of vast amounts of middle schoolers.....and one Clemson Graduate - Superstar Jill Graves. For those that don't know, Jill is a triple threat. Her dance moves on and off the field, have literally won the hearts of many. To quote Jill, "If I don't win best dance moves for the booty drop peekaboo then I quit", thus proving her determination in the act of wanting to become a true thespian.....not to be confused with lesbian. With talent like Jill's and her animated personality, who knows where she'll end up! My hope is Fords Oyster Bar for karaoke on Thursday nights, but that's just me. If I were a betting woman, which I am, I would say that there's a good chance. But back to Frankie's. Jill was lucky enough to find a booth in the arcade that charged a mere $5 to record one song of choice and in return are given a CD recording. Just her, a mic, the booth, and her dream. Jill was nice enough to let Lindsey, long time friend and coach, into the 'studio' with her, taking my camera along for video. The video footage could end up on E! True Hollywood Story one day, so consider yourself privileged....its an A Capella version, so please be kind. I was lucky enough to hear the final CD recording, along with die hard Jill Graves Fans, Beth and Micah, and we will say that the quality of the recording was spectacular. No other immediate comments were made upon the performance. You can follow Jill on Twitter at @jgraves87 to keep up with her thespian dreams....again, not to be confused with lesbian.
