The Fabulous Mary Ann Redmond Band August 13, 2011

Mary Ann Redmond is an American singer known for her soulful and wide-ranging vocal style in popular and jazz music. Both her live performances and her CDs to date have earned her acclaim from audiences and recognition from the music industry.

Redmond is well-known in her home base of Washington, DC, where she's won a staggering 16 WAMMIE Awards from the Washington Area Music Association (Best Female Jazz Singer; Best Rock-Pop Vocalist, Best Roots Rock/Traditional R&B Vocalist, Best Urban Contemporary Vocalist and Best Female Blues Vocalist.) A native of Richmond Virginia, she has toured with her close friend Mary Chapin Carpenter (the first and only background singer Carpenter has ever brought on board), and has opened for an array of artists including The Pointer Sisters, The Neville Brothers, Ashford and Simpson, The O'Jays, and Smokey Robinson. She was also a close friend of the late Eva Cassidy. In addition to their vocal power, they both shared the gift of putting themselves into a song and making it her own. "Eva taught me that no matter what happens, it's got to be real," Redmond says. "You can hear it in every song she sang. And she was right." --AllAboutJazz.com
