Currently, she is celebrating the release of her newest CD, The Girl

Ann Hampton Callaway is highly regarded for her Tony-nominated performance
in the hit Broadway musical, Swing! and for her witty writing and
singing of the theme to the hit TV series, The Nanny. With the release
of her latest album, Slow, Ann Hampton Callaway further asserts herself
as an exciting talent who stands in a class by herself.
Nanci Griffith (the first to record From A Distance)
has also recorded Julie GoldÍs songs Heaven, Southbound Train and
Good Night, New York that Griffith performed on the first anniversary
of September 11th on the David Letterman Show. GoldÍs song, Mountain
of Sorrow, is featured on GriffithÍs latest release: Hearts in Mind.
Julie appeared with Nanci on Austin City Limits and TNNÍs American
Music Shop. Other TV credits include NBCÍs Emmy-nominated image
spot, WeÍre 4 New York, and two award-winning HBO Holiday Spots:
Try Love and One Voice, One Heart. The motion picture Andre features
GoldÍs song, Thanks to You. The motion picture Unfaithful, starring
Richard Gere, featured GoldÍs song Dream Loud, which has been adopted
by several divisions of the Girl Scouts of America as their theme
song. Gold is on the Board of Governors for NARAS and regularly
gives motivational speeches around the country. She has also taught
songwriting at Baruch College and The New School.
Throughout the years, Ms. Callaway has built a devoted
fan base that includes numerous celebrated musicians like Barbra
Streisand, who has recorded several of Ann's songs, including "I've
Dreamed of You," which Streisand sang to James Brolin at their wedding
and loved so much she included it on three recent CD's: A Love Like
Ours, Timeless and Essential Barbra. Originally from Chicago, Ann
is the daughter of the esteemed voice teacher and singer, Shirley
Callaway and legendary Chicago television journalist, John Callaway.
Her sister Liz is one of the most prominent singer-actresses on
Broadway. Since coming to New York, Ann has recorded over 40 CD's
as a soloist and guest artist combined. As one of the leading interpreters
of the Great American Songbook, Callaway was the first person granted
permission by Cole Porter's estate to write music for a previously
unrecorded Porter lyric, "I Gaze In Your Eyes." The renaissance
woman has recently made her screen debut playing Mrs. White in the
upcoming independent film, Sky King, and is preparing to host a
new TV series, soon to be announced.
There is a $10 cover, 2-drink minimum.
