Singer
Mary Cleere Haran
"..she has a special gift, a gift possessed only by great artists"
John Guare, ‘The Momory of All That ‘sleeve notes
Sophisticated San Francisco based Haran brings her considerable skills to re-explore the great American songbook.
Her trademark meticulous research into her carefully selected material is as important as the songs themselves.
Having made major contributions to the centennial celebrations of both Dorothy Parker and Lorenz Hart, she has recently turned her attention to a celebration of the Gershwin centennial. Her long time collaborator on both piano and vocals is Sir Richard Rodney Bennett.
