MORE ABOUT ERIN MCDOUGALD:
Erin McDougald is a Chicago-based jazz vocalist, bandleader, composer-lyricist and producer. Her company, Flapper Girl Productions, has been in existence since 1999 and served as a recording label for two of McDougald's albums (Blue Prelude, 2000, and Meeting Place, 2006). McDougald is associated professionally with her innovative arrangements of jazz standards and phrasing which many critics compare to Chicago-born jazz song stylist, the late Anita O'Day. She has produced four critically acclaimed recordings under her lead since 2000, and is the creator the FGP JazzSeries in Chicago, which brings a live audience into a recording studio environment so they may be part of the recording process and part of the actual recording through audience reactions and applause. This idea was developed from James Wagner's original "Strobe Sessions" in Wicker Park. She has performed live with jazz luminaries Dave Liebman, Nicholas Payton, Ira Sullivan, Rodney Green, Howard Levy, Orlando Sanchez-Soto, Roy Hargrove, Von Freeman, Carlos Henriquez, Harold Maybern and others.
