CAROLYN MONTGOMERY

Carolyn is a multi MAC, Bistro and Nightlife award winning singer/songwriter, who has performed in major venues across 36 states, Montreal and London. In 2017, she co-founded the American Songbook Association, a 501(c)3 nonprofit arts organization that promotes and preserves classic American musical legacies (Jazz, Musical Theatre and the American Songbook, old and new) through education programs, senior enrichment, live events, and Cabaret Scenes magazine. 

Now serving as Executive Director of the ASA, Carolyn creates programs that reach thousands of public school students annually, across all five boroughs of New York City and recently, Chicago. She employs some of New York’s finest entertainers as instructors and partners with some of New York’s most underserved communities, nurturing their students with music.

Carolyn's current show, "girlSINGER, a Celebration of Rosemary Clooney" brings her love of performing and classic American music together. The show has sold out New York City's Birdland and 54 Below multiple times, as well as Crazy Coq's in London. The show also won both the 2025 MAC and Bistro Awards for Outstanding Tribute Show. Carolyn is appearing as a headliner in the Provincetown Cabaret Fest, and will continue to tour with "girlSINGER" across the country and Europe, serving as an ambassador for the ASA and classic American Music.
