Biography

Singer/songwriter Ann Austin is not an easy artist to categorize. Although the Massachusetts resident has recorded for Whaling City Sound (a small, jazz-oriented indie label based in New Bedford, MA) and is quite capable of singing straight-ahead, acoustic-oriented jazz, she is not a jazz purist by any stretch of the imagination. Some of her performances are relevant to vocal jazz, while others favor a jazz-influenced, bluesy approach to traditional pop, adult contemporary or quiet storm. Sometimes, she brings to mind the late Laura Nyro; other times, Austin draws on influences that range from Diane Schuur to Etta James to Bonnie Raitt.
