FréChelle
Von Gurley

Some singers perform a song. FréChelle lives in it — every note, every story, every shiver down your spine.

FréChelle Von Gurley is a Colorado vocalist who sings the great divas, the jazz songbook, and the R&B and soul classics that raised us. Her sets move from a hushed, candlelit standard to a full-throated anthem that has the whole room on its feet — and she tailors every performance to the people in front of her.

A South Carolina girl at heart, FréChelle grew up a military brat — and carried the family tradition of service forward as a U.S. Army veteran herself. She is a scholar as well as a singer, holding three degrees: an AA, a BA, and an MA.

Her creativity doesn’t stop at the stage door. FréChelle attended fashion design school in Los Angeles, California, and taught for the El Paso Museum of Art in Texas — and she owns and operates a private organic cleaning company.

Music found her early — FréChelle has been performing since she was a child. As a teenager, she sang on AFN Radio at Fort Irwin, CA, and performed in several USO theater productions for the troops. Her first teachers were her parents and the youth choir teachers who nurtured her gift, and her greatest classroom was the voices of the women who came before her: Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Millie Jackson, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan. Listen closely, and you’ll hear them all in her.

From first dances to festival stages, holiday galas to milestone birthdays, she brings the same thing everywhere she goes: a voice that honors the legends, and a presence that makes the night feel like it was always meant to sound this way.
