Cabaret Scene's Bart Greenberg raves, "Kittredge can express emotions in all genres of pop music. It's a celebration of…relationships, here given a life-affirming delivery by Kittredge...Highly moving!" "'You want to put my music on the radio?' I thought, 'Wait, am I being punked?' But fast forward, and now my tunes are blasting all over the place, like Peoria and Slovakia?! because those are clearly two places I imagined taking the world by storm. Next stop: world tour. Just gotta Google where Slovakia is first!" – Ann Kittredge BIOS Multi-award winning vocal sensation, Ann Kittredge, has appeared on Broadway, Off-Broadway, concert halls, and at major venues across the United States, working with top producers and directors throughout her career.
