 We are so excited to feature Charlie Chase in our TVG family lineup. What an exceptional vocalist and dynamic performer Charlie is —passionate, powerful, and very spiritual. These are also the amazing attributes of his voice. Cut from the same cloth as some of the world's greatest vocalists with an incredible vocal range and a command of the stage like no other, Charlie is an electrifying entertainer and a powerful force of talent to see.  Our groove just got way deeper and soulful!  And oh by the way... Charlie's brother Jermaine won the VOICE in 2012.  The musical talents in his family are just amazing! 

Inspired by early R&B and Soul legends of the '60s and '70s, Janelle "Jae" Jones grew up swooning along with her radio. She cultivated her soulfully smooth vocals in gospel music in her hometown of Augusta, Georgia which is most notable for being the hometown of the “Godfather of Soul” James Brown. She began singing at the age six years old along with her siblings in a gospel group, “The Singing Angels”. Currently, the affectionately known “Lady Jae” has set her focus on performing live music of the 60's and 70's in notable venues including, Time Squares B.B. Kings Blues Club, The Blue Note New York and the famous Harlem New York Apollo where in 2019 she won HBO's national "Showtime At The Apollo" Amateur Night competition. 

When Craig starts to cut loose and groove in his zone, TVG's got it all going on! Craig is the consummate pro musician. Teacher of music at the Yonkers school district during the day, at night, and on the weekends, he's Super-Bass man.  Craig  is usually performing somewhere during the week or recording in his home studio. He plays a mighty array of instruments including acoustic and electric guitars, keys, drums, and Synth-bass.  "You got to come and catch this cat play" is the frequent comment heard when Craig  performs.  He's a big part of what makes TVG electric and amazing to listen to during our live performances.
