Martinis Above Fourth | Table + Stage presents multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter and Tony-nominee Ann Hampton Callaway in "Diva Power."

Tickets for the Tuesday, September 27 performance at 8PM are available atwww.ma4sd.com/shows.

In Martinis Above Fourth's intimate setting, Callaway's one-woman show presents a personal look at the iconic women who were trailblazers in music and whose careers, voices and songs helped to shape Callaway's artistry. Selections include "Over the Rainbow," "People," "How High the Moon," "Tenderly," "La Vie En Rose," "The Folks Who Live On the Hill," and "A Case of You."

Callaway recently released her thirteenth album, From Sassy to Divine: The Sarah Vaughan Project. The record has garnered rave reviews as the Chicago Tribune hailed it as one of the 'most anticipated jazz albums of the season' and The Associated Press declared, "Callaway has the vocal range, improvisatory flair and passion to channel Vaughan's spirit without imitating her." Callaway earned the distinguished title of 'Performer Of The Year' by the 2014 Broadway World New York Cabaret Awards.

Ann Hampton Callaway has written over 250 songs including the theme to the hit TV series The Nanny, and multi-platinum hits for seven of Barbra Streisand's recent CDs.

Ann has taken the symphony world by storm with her award-winning tribute to her legendary mentor with "The Streisand Songbook," which she premiered with The Boston Pops and continues to tour nationwide.

Callaway's starring role in the jazz Broadway musical Swing! earned her a Tony nomination and The Theater World Award. Ann was also one of the show's co-creators. Her music and lyrics have been performed and recorded by Barbra Streisand, Carole King, Liza Minnelli, Patti LuPone, Michael Feinstein, Blossom Dearie, Peter Nero, Karrin Allyson, Donna McKechnie, Harvey Fierstein, LiLlias White, Barbara Carroll, Amanda McBroom, and Liz Callaway.
