Event Details
Now that the trend of aging rockers cutting albums of show tunes and standards seems thankfully to have run its course, were back to vocalists with a real feel for and understanding of the jazz tradition doing them justice. Nashvilles Monica Ramey is a shining example. Her excellent release Make Someone Happy offers resourceful, soaring and engaging interpretations of material from The Great American Songbook. -Ron Wynn, Nashville Scene Such acclaim is a common occurrence for Monica Ramey, a Midwest talent, joined by artists like Beegie Adair, Anthony Wilson, Clifton Davis, Jeff Steinberg, Annie Sellick, Roger Spencer, Rod McGaha, Mandy Barnett, Jeff Coffin, and Lori Mechem, all of whom have expressed admiration for her work. Hailing from Francesville, one of Indianas quaintest towns, Monica grew up performing on stage alongside her mother in a high school show choir, singing and dancing. Her passion for music blossomed from a young age, culminating in a move to Nashville after earning her college degree to chase her dreams in music. There, she discovered the Nashville Jazz Workshop, where she learned from some of the top jazz talents in the area and created a second family. Monica is widely recognized for her long-established collaboration with jazz pianist Beegie Adair. The duo has produced and appeared on numerous recordings and has graced sold-out jazz venues across the United States, particularly at Birdland Jazz Club in New York. She now manages their business, Adair Music Group LLC, and is actively co-producing and co-hosting VARIETY ON MAIN, a monthly variety show alongside singer Mandy Barnett. Additionally, Monica curates the GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK music and speaker series for the historic Franklin Theatre in Franklin, TN. Outside of her performances, Monica treasures quality time with friends, family, and pets. She enjoys traveling, cooking, and gardening, and supports a variety of organizations focused on animal welfare, music, and human rights.The band will feature Lori Mechem, Roger Spencer and Eric Halvorson.
