ABOUT ANN
Ann Hampton Callaway is one of the rare cabaret artists who can do it all—sing, write, play, interpret, and connect—while making it seem effortless. A Tony-nominated actress, acclaimed singer-pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, and educator, Callaway has built an extraordinary career at the intersection of cabaret, jazz, pop, and the Great American Songbook. She is also a songwriter with remarkable cultural reach: she wrote and sang the theme song for The Nanny, and her songs have been recorded by artists including Barbra Streisand, helping establish her as a platinum-selling songwriter whose work extends far beyond the cabaret room. Her many honors include her 2023 induction into the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame.
She has recorded more than 50 CDs as a soloist and guest artist, with projects spanning standards, tributes, originals, and the kind of richly crafted arrangements only a true musician can deliver night after night. But live performance is where Callaway’s artistry lands most deeply—where her wit, warmth, and interpretive depth can fully unfold in real time.
On Sunday, July 12, she brings Here’s to Life to The Bradstan: a moving, uplifting show created with her award-winning trio that celebrates life’s richness, not by ignoring its challenges, but by transforming them into song. Drawing from Harold Arlen, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Alan and Marilyn Bergman, contemporary writers, and her own originals, Callaway brings wisdom, passion, and unmistakable musicality to every number. The result is a beautifully curated evening of great songs, great storytelling, and the kind of stage command that makes the audience feel lucky to be in the room.
