vocalsAbout
Mary Foster Conklin and George Evans are old friends with a shared passion for jazz, radio and the Great American Songbook. Their last musical venture in New York won them a MAC nomination for Best Duo and its been too long since they sang together, as George has been traveling the world singing on luxury liners for the upper crust. Now that he is finally stateside, the time has come for a reunion concert and Pangea is the perfect place for an evening of blues, swing and noir cabaret. Deanna Witkowski joins them on piano with Daniel Foose on bass.
Vocalist and radio host Mary Foster Conklin is an old school song hound and a master storyteller. Her smoky voice with a tart twist of lemon has been described as both recognizably traditional yet unmistakably contemporary, as she puts her personal stamp on a repertoire that spans over nine decades. A multi-Bistro and MAC award winner, Mary has performed throughout the United States and Canada. She currently hosts a weekly radio show on WFDU-FM HD2 called A Broad Spectrum which highlights women composers and lyricists and is a proud member of Ana Choired Taste a 12 member jazz chorus devoted to the music of Frank Zappa, among others. Her fourth CD, Photographs, a memory piece of standards and contemporary tunes, was released in 2016 to critical acclaim. She is thrilled to rejoin George Evans on the stage. www.maryfosterconklin.com...
