ABOUT JEANNE
Jeanne MacDonald has earned a reputation as one of New York’s finest cabaret singers—an artist with the rare ability to make a lyric feel freshly written, then turn around and swing, soar, or land a punchline with equal ease. A true storyteller in song, Jeanne brings an honest, intelligent point of view to everything she sings—moving seamlessly from jazz to classical to musical theater.
Originally from Freeport, Long Island and a graduate of the Crane School of Music, Jeanne’s artistic roots are deeply tied to Sullivan County. She first developed her craft at the original Bradstan Country Hotel in White Lake, where she performed for years and recorded her beloved album Live at the Bradstan—a full-circle connection that makes every return feel personal.
Her debut CD Company, produced and arranged by longtime musical director/arranger Rick Jensen, received extensive critical praise and earned a MAC nomination for Recording of the Year—early proof of what audiences now know: Jeanne doesn’t just “sing songs,” she builds a whole evening that hangs together.
Since those Bradstan beginnings, Jeanne has performed across New York City cabaret rooms including the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel, the Metropolitan Room, and more, collecting major recognition along the way—MAC Award winner (Female Vocalist), Bistro Award for Outstanding Vocalist, MAC Hanson Award, and the Julie Wilson Award for excellence in cabaret (presented on the stage at Jazz at Lincoln Center).
Most recently, working with musical director Tracy Stark, Jeanne debuted a newer show to a sold-out crowd as part of The Bradstan Cabaret Series and has continued to prove what critics have said: time away from the Manhattan cabaret circuit hasn’t dulled a thing—her voice remains “a beautiful instrument,” delivered with “natural warmth and wit.”
She’s thrilled to return once again—back where so much of her story began.
