| Ann Hampton Callaway - The Moon is a Kite - New Single - Just Released! Tony nominee and Platinum selling songwriter, Ann Hampton Callaway, releases the latest in a string of singles called "The Moon is a Kite." The song originated from a poem she wrote in her #ahcpoemaday series on June 10, 2021. Arts Angel Debra DeMartini commissioned Ann to create a song and the result was an enchanted jazz waltz celebrating the benefits of keeping an imaginative life view to support the spirit during challenging times. This song will ultimately be part of a lot awaited CD of Ann's original songs due later this year. The song, released on June 25, 2021, is available on iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon.com, Spotify and all streaming platforms. https://annhamptoncallaway.hearnow.com/.
