Join me for the June 22, 2020, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as I’m joined in conversation with jazz vocalist Kate McGarry.

Kate has many critically acclaimed CDs and two Grammy nominations (2019 and 2009) for Best Jazz Vocal CD. She has become recognized as a jazz artist who brings authenticity and vitality to every song regardless of genre. The Wall St. Journal calls her music, “Austere and elegant,” and The New York Times pronounced it, “astute and sensitive”.

Kate currently performs in jazz clubs, performing arts centers and festivals throughout the US and abroad. As an educator she has taught at New England Conservatory and Manhattan School of Music. Downbeat’s 2016 Critics Poll named McGarry the No. 1 Rising Star Female Vocalist. She has been interviewed on All Things Considered, and has performed on Jazz Set  With DeeDee Bridgewater, Piano Jazz With Marion McPartland, and a host of nationally syndicated radio shows.

Join me for the Nov. 25, 2019, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio in Sitka, Alaska, when I was joined in conversation with Washington, D.C., standout Sharón Clark.

Sharón has brought festival and concert audiences to their feet across the U.S. and Europe. Her New York run drew raves from the NY Times and the Wall Street Journal, and she won New York’s Bistro Award for Best Vocalist. Ms. Clark has made multiple international tours in recent years, making her debut in Israel and returning to Russia, where she has developed a major following. Her most recent release, “Do it Again — My Tribute to Shirley Horn,” is on its third printing, and she grabs top honors wherever she goes.
