Performer · Jazz Vocalist
Hailed as one of Western New York’s musical “gems,” Ann Mitchell has spent years delighting audiences with a vast repertoire of timeless classics spanning the jazz era of the 1930s through the 1950s.
About Ann
Her focus has always been to preserve and share the songs of artists like Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald, and Judy Garland, through her own deep love and appreciation of these masters. The personal connection she shares with every audience makes each listener feel like the only person in the room.
“Ann Mitchell is no stranger to the nuances and depth that define jazz vocal greats. With her refined phrasing, crystal-clear tone, and a deep understanding of classic material … in a way that feels both reverent and refreshing.”

If you haven’t heard Ann perform before, you’re in for a real treat! Her song selection and style will take you back to a time when jazz stylists were famous. You won’t believe your ears.
Wonderful show Ann & Band. Listened to all of it on the radio, but I felt like I was at a nightclub.
Your singing is top of the line … I love the Miss Peggy Lee songs you sang.
Ann is fantastic! A true professional, phenomenal talent and a great person all rolled into one. We are fortunate to have her music in our own home town!
