MARY FOSTER CONKLIN

Back By Popular Demand


The winner of the 2010 MAC Award for Jazz Vocalist by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs, Mary Foster Conklin is a true jazz original. Her hip, smoky style has been described as both recognizably traditional yet unmistakably contemporary, as she puts her personal stamp on a smart repertoire that spans over eight decades. Her sets are a mix of contemporary material and standards, with an emphasis on the lesser-known treasures of the Great American Songbook. A natural storyteller, Conklin has wowed audiences at The Blue Note, The Iridium, The Metropolitan Room, Sweet Rhythm and the Triad Theatre in New York, as well as The Plush Room in San Francisco and the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles.

Reviews of Mary Foster Conklin:

+ The New York Times: Mary Foster Conklin is "a highly creative singer whose style blends cabaret and jazz so thoroughly as to defy any easy categorization."

+ The Washington Post: "Scratch her witty tough-girl-from Jersey patter and you'll find a sensitive artist (but not frail) with a wide-ranging boldly colored voice and an open ear for off-beat material."

+ TheatreMania.com: "Stylish without pretension, sexy without posturing, and tasteful without strict boundaries, Conklin is a jazz artist with that always hoped-for combination of musical chops and sensitivity to lyrics." 

$100 for dinner & show; $65 for show only.
