Injury, marriage and motherhood took her in a more domestic direction until her daughter was old enough for her to indulge a life long desire to sing. With her family's support and encouragement, she joined The Paul Madore Chorale in Salem. MA. When her husband's work took them to Raleigh, NC, Anne returned to school to study classical voice and acting at Meredith College. While living in Raleigh, Anne began performing as a singer. Many workshops, musicals, and even a short stint as a member of the local opera company later, she decided that cabaret was where she felt most at home. Since arriving in Philadelphia, Anne has had the pleasure of performing at the legendary Odette's, The Stockton Inn, Francoluigi's High Note Cafe, Applause,Applause and Society Hill Playhouse. She will be making her New York City debut with Rick Jensen in fall 2007. Gene Cavanaugh has been entertaining audiences in the Philadelphia area for over a decade with his warm, lyric baritone. Gene has appeared at venues such as Odette's in New Hope PA, and Tavern on Camac and the Red Room at the Society Hill Playhouse In Philadelphia PA. In 2006 Gene Graced the stage at New York's legendary Carnegie Hall, along with fellow Philly Cabaret performer Jeff McDonnell. More recently, Gene has been playing to full houses at the Stockton Inn, in Stockton NJ. Gene often refers to his shows as his "Continuing Musical Midlife Crisis"; his audiences are glad he chose singing over that little red sports car!!
