Mary Cleere Haran

This witty songstress mines the soul of the classic movie musical with this tribute to American songwriter Harry Warren, whose “Golden Age of Hollywood” songbook includes “Jeepers Creepers,” “On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe,” “I Had the Craziest Dream” and “An Affair to Remember.” From outright comedy that celebrates the wit of these classic songs, to quiet, probing renditions that peel away the glitter, haran’s delivery moves from glamorous and sad–all delivered with the charm and style a 1930’s movie star. “She delivers songs in the unornamented, swing-inflected pop style associated with World War II,” says The New York Times.
