(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Jazz-pop vocalist Ann Hampton Callaway brings her cabaret show, “Celebrating The Great American Songbook,” to Club Helsinki Hudson on Sunday, July 7, at 7pm, as part of the Helsinki on Broadway series presented in association with Showstoppers. Returning to Club Helsinki by popular demand, Callaway presents the best of Gershwin, Porter, Rodgers, Arlen, Berlin and Kern. From “All The Things You Are” to “How Deep is The Ocean” to “Blues in the Night,” with insightful anecdotes about each tune, Tony Award-nominated Callaway takes the audience on a journey of romance, passion, humor and simply great music.

She is best known for writing and singing the theme to the TV series “The Nanny,” writing songs for Barbra Streisand and starring in the Broadway musical “Swing!” Callaway has composed over 250 songs for television, Broadway, off-Broadway and several of today’s leading interpreters of songs. Her music and lyrics have been performed and recorded by Liza Minnelli, Patti LuPone, Michael Feinstein, Blossom Dearie, Peter Nero, Karrin Allyson, Donna McKechnie, Harvey Fierstein, Amanda McBroom, Liz Callaway and Carole King.
The Cole Porter Estate officially recognizes Ann Hampton Callaway as the only composer to have collaborated with Cole Porter, having set her music to his posthumously discovered lyric, “I Gaze in Your Eyes.”
