Scheer Bliss Jazz has been entertaining and elevating weddings, restaurants,
and social events in the Grand Rapids area since 2019. 

Scheer Bliss began with the musical friendship of Ed Dublis (piano) and Greg Scheer (bass), and soon grew to include a rotating cast of jazz musicians, especially good friends Susan Mora (violin) and Jason Werkema (guitar). While the group focuses on jazz, we have included all manner of styles and requests in our sets–especially when planning wedding music. Scheer Bliss is flexible, performing events as a duo or expanding to include vocals, drums, or horns. From weekly restaurant gigs to private events, we would love to be the sound of your next soirée!
