Power and Versatility - the vocals of Chicago native Tammy McCann provide both qualities in a variety of musical settings. At the tender age of fifteen, an opera recital under the tutelage of Kenwood Academy’s Dr. Lena McLin, exposed her immense vocal talents. This enabled her to receive a classical voice scholarship to Virginia Union University. Tammy went on to perform with the following renowned artists: Ray Charles, Von and George Freeman, Ramsey Lewis, Five Blind Boys of Alabama, and the Soul Stirrers. Singing in Italian, French, and German has brought McCann to stages around the world.
