STEVIE SHINNICK

Performance History

"The stage has never simply been a place to perform—it has always been home."

For more than three decades, Stevie has performed, directed, taught, and created throughout Southern California and Tennessee. Her background spans musical theatre, directing, chorales, vocal performance, children's theatre education, comedy, stage management, hair and makeup artistry, and is now a Vintage Pop Noir Jazz singer throughout the Nashville area.

From leading roles in beloved Broadway classics to directing productions and mentoring young performers, every chapter has shaped the artist she is today. Today, Stevie combines that theatrical storytelling with vintage jazz, creating performances filled with warmth, humor, elegance, and heart.
