Presenting Dial-a-Diva: Ann Hampton Callaway Offers Personalized Original Songs, Workshops and Live Stream House Concerts

Dear Friends,

I hope this finds you well as we navigate this new time together. Like so many of my performer friends, I have numerous cancelled concerts and my live performance career is totally on hold. This is very distressing financially but also a wonderful opportunity. So, I am putting three things out there:

1. If you would like me to write you a song for you, for someone you love, for a special occasion, or for a cause, let me know and we can discuss how to make this work.

2. If you are an educator in a music department and would like me to give a masterclass in song interpretation, arranging songs and making them your own, the music business, songwriting or improvisation, I'd be very interested in doing Zoom classes with your students. I love seeing the potential in people and helping them to dig deeper and shine.

3. If you have a special occasion and would like me to give you, your friends and family a private Zoom concert with requests or a theme that is meaningful to you, I am your diva.

Thoughts and Prayers - the new single from Ann Hampton Callaway available digital November 6

I started writing "Thoughts and Prayers" the night I opened at Birdland last year with my saxophonist Jimmy Greene who had lost his beloved daughter Ana at the age of six at the Sandy Hook Shooting. He told me that he didn't think there would ever be gun control in this country because of the overwhelming power of the NRA. Knowing the grief that he and his wife Nelba had suffered, I went to my dressing room and started penning the lyrics. Fast forward to the Parkland Shooting. I was in Florida the day it happened and so upset by the loss and the callous response of politicians who were unwilling to take any action that I finally finished the song.

Ever since I was five and suffered the shock of having our president assassinated I have had a strong sense of mission about finding ways to reduce the violence in our country. When CBS came to our grade school after Kennedy was shot, they interviewed me and asked me what I thought should be done about it. I thought about it and said, "Ban bullets."

It is my hope that people will hear this song and vote according to conscious in this extremely important midterm election. I would love to see a reverse grading system for politicians. Instead of succumbing to the grading system of politicians bought by the NRA, if we the people, graded politicians on their willingness to create sensible gun legislation that would protect children and all the citizens of America, we could make historic progress in making our country a safer, saner and more peaceful nation.

I am grateful to all the wonderful people who took time out of their busy lives to contribute videos and photographs for the music video I did with my director, Steven Lippman, AKA FLIP. Unfortunately, he was too weak and ill to finish the video when we hoped to release it right after the Parkland shooting. He sent me a finished copy of the video not long before he passed away. It's my hope that this video is a small way of honoring Steven's life. He, too, was very committed to the cause of finding ways to making our schools and our towns safer from gun violence. I hope that this song helps to wake people up to take action. If not now, when?

Thanks,
Ann

Dear Friends,

The Linda Ronstadt Songbook

Ann recently premiered a critically acclaimed night of songs and stories in celebration of one of America's most beloved artists, Linda Ronstadt at Feinstein's/54 Below in NYC.

On the heels on Ann's symphonic/PAC triumph, The Streisand Songbook, this show celebrates the many faces of love in Ronstadt's iconic songs from her Stone Poney Days like "Different Drum" and "Long Long Time" to pop/rock classics like "You're No Good," and "Desperado" to unforgettable classics from her three Nelson Riddle albums like "What's New" and "Am I Blue," to her iconic duets which Callaway performed with her brilliant MD, Billy Stritch.

Adding to the electrifying sound was Martin Wind on bass, Tim Horner on drums, and Linda's long time guitartist and arranger, Bob Mann.

Ann celebrates and talks about Sarah Vaughan with Ramsey Lewis on WTTW's Chicago Tonight hosted by Phil Ponce.

Ann Performs "Misty" with Ramsey Lewis and Josh Ramos on WTTW's Chicago Tonight.

"Callaway opened the program, the nature of her instrument - with its bell-like high notes and throaty low ones - coming closest to the character of Vaughan's sound. That much was apparent on Callaway's superb 2014 album, "From Sassy to Divine: The Sarah Vaughan Project," but all the more on this occasion. Callaway lavished sumptuous colors on "I'm Gonna Live Till I Die," spun silken strands of melody in "Misty" and referenced Vaughan's ability to invent melodic lines during high-flying scat passages in "Lullaby of Birdland."

"The dramatic high point of the evening, however, belonged to Callaway, who found new meanings in Stephen Sondheim's most famous and least interesting song, "Send in the Clowns." To Callaway - who told the audience she'd heard Vaughan deliver the work during the singer's final concert - this wasn't just a statement on the follies of love. It was a lament, an outpouring, a guttural cry on the beauty and tragedy of life, some passages sung a cappella, leaving Callaway utterly exposed emotionally and vocally. And all the more powerful for it. The performance deserved the standing ovation it instantly received, prompting Alexander to wonder if the concert should even continue after that. It did, enriched - as from the beginning - with orchestrations from Vaughan's recordings transcribed by conductor Lindberg." - Howard Reich

Ann receives rave review from Chicago Tribune's Howard Reich for her performance at Symphony Center.
