One of the leading champions of The Great American Songbook, Ann Hampton Callaway made her mark as a Platinum Award-Winning singersongwriter as well as a pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, actress, educator, TV host and producer. Versatile and powerful, Callaway’s multioctave voice has been described as “robust and powerful, yet restrained and cool… with truly divine huskiness” (WBGO-FM). She has exceptional charisma on stage, bringing “passion, playful phrasing, electricity, charm and equally exuberant and subtle nuances” to her interpretations (Music Connection). Callaway will sing some of Barbra Streisand’s timeless classics such as Cry me a River and The Way We Were. Streisand is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with a total of 145 million records worldwide.
