KATE McGARRY — Fond du Lac
About this Event
“Heartfelt, intelligent, and unforgettable.” — All About Jazz
Kate McGarry has become widely recognized as a jazz artist who brings authenticity and vitality to every song regardless of genre. Kate has 7 critically acclaimed CDs and 3 Grammy nominations to her credit. The Wall Street Journal calls her music, "Austere and elegant," and The New York Times pronounced her singing, “astute and sensitive.”
“No matter how many liberties she takes with meter and interpretation, she exercises a fidelity to the meaning of the song...McGarry has the pure untrammeled voice of an ingenue who finds wonder in the simplest things.” — DownBeat
Kate grew up in Hyannis, Mass., one of 10 children in a musical family that spent many nights singing together. At the University of Massachusetts Amherst she earned a degree in Afro-American Music and Jazz where her professors included Dr. Horace Boyer, Archie Shepp, Max Roach, Dr. Billy Taylor, and author and cultural icon James Baldwin.
“McGarry’s vocals are supple, finely nuanced, and prone to blues inflections and breezy, daring improvisations.” — NPR
McGarry has performed on some of the world’s most beloved stages, from Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and Birdland to the Newport Jazz Festival, Berlin Jazz Fest and Jazz Baltica and has performed, recorded or toured with such jazz luminaries as Hank Jones, Clark Terry, Archie Shepp, Fred Hersch, Kurt Elling, Maria Schneider, John Hollenbeck and Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown. Kate represented the U.S. State Department and Jazz at Lincoln Center for 3 years as a Jazz Ambassador in the American Music Abroad program, touring Romania, Albania, Brazil, Chile, China and Mongolia.
