Her all-star trio will feature Ted Rosenthal at the piano, Martin Wind on bass and Tim Horner on drums. "Bridges" explores songs about how people connect and move beyond their differences, inhibitions and fears.

"During the recent election, people became so hostile, forgetting about what they had in common and focusing only on their differences. Music has the power to heal and so I am offering a show that puts a new light on things for this new year, using the symbol of a bridge as a beautiful image to contemplate in all its forms." Callaway was recently honored with two BroadwayWorld.com New York Cabaret Awards for Cabaret Show of the Year and Best Tribute Show for "The Streisand Songbook" at 54 Below.
