City Winery: TERISA GRIFFIN

Terisa is known for her beautiful soul stirring renditions of the classics and lively concerts. Her hit “Wonderful” is a favorite for R&B lovers & the House Remix version is a Classic! Terisa’s unique talent to read her audience mood is part of her charm and the reason her audience continues to love her. Griffin’s sound has earned her the beloved title Chicago’s Own “Empress of Soul”!

When ask how has it been to share the moniker with some of the greatest entertainers Griffin’s answer is simple and sweet. “Sharing the ticket with the some of the Nation’s most sought after entertainers has been my honor”, from Will Downing, Nick Collione, Charlie Wilson, Lalah Hathaway, The Ojays, Patti LaBelle, and more all I can only say it is blessing and a privilege”!

Terisa not only leaves it all on the stage but she shares that stage by giving laptops and trunks to college-bound freshmen during the summer months for the past 15 years. Griffin wasn’t satisfied with only stirring the soul but she also she needed to touch the minds of those coming behind her.
