“Ann Hampton Callaway doesn’t just sing a song—she inhabits it with soul, nuance, and unmatched elegance.”
This extraordinary show draws from the music that shaped Tony-nominated, Ann Hampton Callaway’s songwriting voice, featuring classics inspired by Carole King, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Paul Simon, and more. A recent inductee into the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame, Ann also shares songs from her acclaimed album Finding Beauty: Originals Vol. 1.
Audiences can expect beloved favorites like Streisand’s “At the Same Time,” along with powerful songs co-written with Oscar winner Alan Bergman, Grammy winner Melissa Manchester, and Grammy nominee Amanda McBroom. The evening traces the arc of Ann’s musical inspiration through rousing showstoppers and exquisite ballads alike.
Finding Beauty: Originals Vol. 1 debuted at #1 on the Billboard Jazz Charts. Ann is joined by Grammy winner Billy Stritch on piano, Tim Horner on drums, and Martin Wind on bass.
