Tammy is an internationally experienced vocalist whose powerful, soulful, and versatile voice has been described in the Chicago Tribune as ".....a voice that soars in all registers, at all tempos, and on all occasions."

The legendary pianist and composer, Ramsey Lewis has said of her: "For all those who like songs from the great American Songbook sung by a talented performer who knows how to get the most out of them, check out Tammy McCann!". And the celebrated writer and critic, Stanley Crouch, has stated...."Here is a fully grown artist whose craft is enhanced by integrity: not only a goal, but a great achievement in itself.".

Tammy has collaborated with many extraordinary musicians and ensembles during her career, including Von Freeman, The Chicago Jazz Orchestra, Les McCann, Ramsey Lewis and the great Ray Charles. Her majestic voice has been heard in concert halls throughout Europe and Russia, and her engagements in clubs and concerts in Chicago areconsistently "standing room only", where she has been described at "the next great voice coming out of Chicago".
