Mary Ann Redmond (born 3 November 1959 in Richmond, Virginia) is an American singer known for her soulful and wide-ranging vocal style in popular and jazz music.
Redmond eventually attended Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) where she studied opera and voice while playing gigs at nights with the Jack Diamond band.
Tired of the road life, she settled in the Washington, DC area and with the Williams band recorded her first album, Prisoner of the Heart, first released in 1994 (a remixed version was re-released in 2002).
In 1995, Mary Ann Redmond formed her own supporting band and went out as a solo act, performing at Washington-area clubs and private parties.
Mary Ann co-wrote Love Me Anyway with Todd Wright, that was covered as a duet on Celine Dion's and Johnny Hallyday's 2012 French CDs.
The lineup of the Mary Ann Redmond Band is subject to change over the years and as of 2013 she is working with guitarist Dan Leonard (and sometimes Michael Ault or Keith Grimes), bassist Mike Tony Echols and drummer Deren Blessman.
Mary Ann completed a new Jazz CD, Compared To What, with Paul Langosch and Jay Cooley, released in the summer of 2013, which includes Love Me Anyway.
