Monica Ramey In Year Long Nashville Residency

I have some thrilling news to share!

Beginning in May, I will embark on a year-long residency at the Nashville Jazz Workshop, where I will showcase the works of a variety of jazz composers, including Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Henry Mancini, Alan & Marilyn Bergman, and many more.

As many of you are aware, my foundation in jazz was built during my time at NJW, where I discovered a wealth of songs that are now part of my book. It was also there that I recognized the significance of the composers I honor, as well as where I formed lasting relationships with friends, teachers, and mentors. It was where I first met Lori Mechem and Roger Spencer. And, it is where a petite blonde woman critiqued my first ever jazz performance, extended her hand to me and said "my name is Beegie Adair. You don't know me and I don't know you yet, but for now on - you'll be studying with me. I want to take you under my wing." That moment changed my life.

Returning to NJW to present the music that has been so meaningful to me, which I have dedicated my career to sharing and preserving with authenticity and care, brings me immense joy. I am thankful to Max Abrams, the new Executive Director of NJW, for this wonderful opportunity. If you live nearby, I hope you'll consider attending these events monthly, and for those from out of town, I encourage you to come and make it a destination. Nashville is a vibrant city, full of opportunities year-round. I hope you will stop by and include one of these special performances in your visit.

I will keep you updated regularly through email and social media. Please spread the word and let me know if you attend a show. I can’t wait to share this music that means so much to me and express my gratitude for your support in person.

Keep swingin,

Monica Ramey

"Now that the trend of aging rockers cutting albums of show tunes and standards seems thankfully to have run its course, we're back to vocalists with a real feel for and understanding of the jazz tradition doing them justice. Nashville's 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 ⁠
⁠
Monica Ramey, a talent from the Midwest, has consistently received high praise, collaborating with notable artists including Beegie Adair, Anthony Wilson, Clifton Davis, Jeff Steinberg, Annie Sellick, Roger Spencer, Rod McGaha, Jeff Coffin, and Lori Mechem, all of whom have lauded her artistry.⁠
⁠
The significant musical collaboration between Monica and renowned jazz pianist Beegie Adair has been instrumental in her career, leading to numerous album releases and sold-out performances nationwide, particularly at New York's Birdland Jazz Club. The Tennessean remarked on her stage presence, describing her voice as "a smooth, velvety voice formed by years of study and countless performances, putting her own fresh spin on jazz standards."  Broadway World highlighted her singing as⁠
"impeccable" declaring her  "one of the best jazz vocalists.”  ⁠
