Mary Kadderly

February 19, 2011 – Mary Kadderly
West Cafe hosts a distinctive voice during PDX Jazz Festival

Mary Kadderly’s smoky vocals recall Natalie Cole in her “Unforgettable” phase, though she can get sassy and coy like Kay Starr, be as coolly detached as Sade, and ooze overt sensuality like Julie London. More information can be found at www.marykadderly.com.
