"Ann Marie is a thoroughly trained, dedicated and shining musical
person. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to have her
in my band. She faced some harrowing musical challenges with
determination, focus, confidence and respect, and she always
delivered gracefully. For a band leader and composer there is no
greater blessing. But the most captivating aspect of her playing is
how her enchanting personality emanates through her fingertips
and into the notes.
On a personal level Ann Marie is smart, charming, funny, considerate,
kind, and deeply empathetic. Her positive persona pierces any dark
cloud that it comes across. It may sound as though I'm gushing and
perhaps waxing on but the truth is, I'm just calling an ace an ace.
Oh, and she also can throw down a mean-ass happy dance.
Bursting with joy just thinking about her..."

"Ann Marie Calhoun is one of that rare breed of musicians who
combines special skills in several musical styles and disciplines.
With her early Classical training and award-winning excellence
in American Bluegrass traditions, she brings together Folk, African
and Jazz elements with maturity and poise belying her tender years.
Unlike many of her fiddlin' friends from the Classical world, Ann
Marie has cultivated considerable improvisational abilities but still
retains her music theory and the ability to play set parts and
orchestrations. She has a great ear, is quick to learn and able to
add valuable touches to any composition and arrangement - no
matter what style of music presents itself.
Add to this that she is a swell gal! A really nice person who is
thoughtful, kind, considerate and an asset to any touring or recording
band. Her list of recent credits include tours and/or recordings with
Dave Matthews Band, Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull and Steve Vai as
well as her Arab/Appalachian fusion band Kantara.
