Pop-ups at Portal: Gretchen Elise

This summer, enjoy live art and music with the return of Pop Ups at the Portal! ☀️☀️☀️

Gretchen Elise returns with a West Philly family jam during the Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll!

Get ready to be moved, lifted & wrapped in pure soul with the incredible indie singer-songwriter Gretchen Elise. Gretchen creates an experience that captivates listeners worldwide. She is a master at weaving the listener into her creations, creating new collaborations in the moment. Composing original music from jazz to hip hop in Berlin, Boston, and her hometown Philadelphia, her original releases (since 2004) can be heard on all streaming platforms. Her newest indie soul release video, “Running,” is an animated journey of resilience. Her current project “Grateful Love” is a danceable response to a car crashing into her house.
