Short description of style: Great American Songbook Christmas faves sprinkled with traditional vocal jazz standards. This concert will be the one-year anniversary of the CD release of “Christmas: Live at The Jazz Room”, so we’ll do some songs off of that album, as well as unveiling some new arrangements of Great American Songbook tunes by Lerner/Loewe, Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter, Harry Warren & Mack Gordon, and more!
For the past decade, Mary-Catherine has since been working steadily as a performer, freelance vocalist and recording artist, music educator, vocal coach, and music director. Performance highlights include the American debut of Songs for My Mother Off-Broadway at Symphony Space (NYC), jazz performances at the iconic Birdland Jazz Club (NYC), and headliner at: Uptown Waterloo Jazz Festival, Jazz Bistro (Toronto), The Rex (Toronto), The Jazz Room (Waterloo), and The Registry Theatre (Kitchener). She has also been a featured soloist with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. Her debut album “You’re Gonna Hear From Me” was released to critical acclaim and received airplay on CBC and JazzFM, among others.
