Mary Ann Russo

“Mary Ann is a truly gifted, world-class vocalist. Her tracks are vibrant, her melodies catchy, and her delivery and stage presence are soulful and sure.”
   —Dan Rivera, Audio CD Producer

As a native New Yorker, Mary Ann attended Erasmus High school in Brooklyn where she began honing her vocal skills with “The Erasmus Vocal Choir” (Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond are also alumnists of this prestigious choir.).

Mary Ann sang with local Doo Wop groups and entertained at weddings until she married and put her musical career on hold so she could devote her full time to raising a family.

Mary Ann later returned to the music scene as the lead vocalist with an eclectic New York top 40's band and performed with them for almost five years. The band specialized in “Standards, Blues, Country and Oldies. Venues included Union Hall (Manhattan), The Davenport Country Club (New Rochelle), Fox Hollow (Westbury) and numerous lounges and clubs throughout the tri-state area.
