Tammy McCann is an internationally recognized jazz vocalist and is currently Artist in Residence for the Music Institute of Chicago. Her powerful, sultry, and emotionally charged voice paints pictures and tells stories by merging classical vocal technique and gospel aesthetic with jazz to create a sound that is completely her own. Alyce Claerbaut, President of Strayhorn Songs Publishing, Inc. says, “Tammy is a star with a one-of-a-kind voice.”
Tammy has performed with such luminaries as Chicago’s own Ramsey Lewis and NEA Jazz Master Von Freeman, John Clayton, Branford Marsalis, Joe Locke, Charles McPherson, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Carmen Bradford, and toured as a Raelette with the great Ray Charles.
She has thrilled audiences in festivals and clubs worldwide from Bangkok, Thailand, to the Harrods Atticus in Greece, as well as this nation’s premier concert and jazz venues, such as Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Birdland, The Blue Note, Dizzy’s Club, and Chicago’s own Jazz Showcase.
