About CeCe Gable

CeCe Gable draws the listener into her captivating world of song with an incredible depth of emotion. She swings with rhythmic passion and also has the ability to caress a ballad with effortless interpretation. Influenced by many of the women and men of jazz, she offers her own voice on jazz standards and the American Songbook. She shines on any stage whether she is accompanied by a solo pianist, a trio or an entire orchestra... you'll find you cannot get enough of this jazz experience. CeCe Gable's website at http://www.cecegable.com has samples of her artistry.

About The Bliss Mansion


The Bliss Mansion, on the northeast corner of Robinson and North Mountain Streets (technically at 608 Elizabeth Street, just east of the Governor's Mansion), was built by Duane L. Bliss, lumber and railroad magnate, in 1879, and was in its time the most modern and largest home in Nevada, a Victorian home built in the Italianate style. It was the first home in Nevada entirely piped for gas lighting, and was built entirely of clear wood. It has 15 rooms and 9 marble fireplaces.
