Vocalist Mary Foster Conklin hosts a weekly radio show focused on women composers and lyricists called A Broad Spectrum the Ladies of Jazz on WFDU HD2. A tireless song hound who has done several shows highlighting women writers both past and present, she now turns her focus to contemporary singer/ songwriter Phoebe Snow, best known for her hits Poetry Man and Harpos Blues who died in 2011. A founding member of the Renegade Cabaret, Mary can be seen from time to time singing off various fire escapes as The Lady in the Red Dress. Her tribute to Beat poet Fran Landesman was praised by the New York Times as "full of salt and vinegar -- with the intensity and tough humor of someone who might have lived on the bohemian fringe in the late 40s and 50s, when the word hip meant something." Her latest CD, Photographs, a memory piece of standards and contemporary tunes, was released in 2016 to critical acclaim and worldwide airplay.
