Erin McDougald
Erin McDougald is a Chicago-based jazz vocalist, bandleader, composer-lyricist and producer. McDougald is known for her innovative arrangements of jazz standards and phrasing which many critics compare to Chicago-born jazz song stylist, the late Anita O'Day. Her company, Flapper Girl Productions, has served as th record label for two of McDougald's albums (''Blue Prelude'', 2000, and ''Meeting Place'', 2006). She has produced four critically acclaimed recordings as leader since 2000, and is the creator the FGP JazzSeries in Chicago, which brings a live audience into a recording studio environment so they may be part of the recording process and part of the actual recording through audience reactions and applause. This idea was developed from James Wagner's original "Strobe Sessions" in Wicker Park. She has performed with jazz luminaries Dave Liebman, Nicholas Payton, Ira Sullivan, Rodney Green, Howard Levy, Orlando Sanchez-Soto, Roy Hargrove, Von Freeman, Carlos Henriquez, Harold Maybern and others.
==Early life==
Born March 16, 1977 in Columbus, Ohio's Mount Carmel Hospital, Erin was raised in Delaware, Ohio by her parents, Colleen McDougald and Harold James McDougald. She and her younger sister Leah attended and graduated from St. Mary's Catholic Grade School in Delaware and Bishop Watterson High School in Columbus. When Erin was ten years old, her paternal grandfather, James Gordon McDougald, moved into their large home with the family and lived with them through the girls' formative years; he is credited with inspiring McDougald to go into jazz in college years, attending Columbia College Chicago. McDougald was enrolled in ballet, tap and "jazz" dance studies at The Shirley Jennings Academy of Dance in downtown Delaware from pre-school through her sophomore year of high school, when she transferred to the prestigious Mary Rose Dance Reach Company in Powell, Ohio. She struggled with eating disorders from age ten through 22, respectively, and spent a short time in Harding Hospital (through an out-patient program) when she was 16 years old for anorexia. At age ten, she began formal voice training with Celtic songstress Sue Mogan-Mattison in Delaware Ohio; Erin was reared in vocal technique and Folk and Irish music through her freshman year of high school when Mogan suggested she move onto a more established vocal coach, Columbus' Michelle Horsefield. Under Horsefield's coaching, McDougald progressed into musical theater and Operatic studies, preparing for various school shows and college auditions. Erin was offered scholarships to multiple colleges for her musical, dance and writing skills, including Capitol University, University of Syracuse and Santa Fe New Mexico Music School. McDougald chose to go to University of Cincinnati, who declined to accept her into the conservatory's theater department; she continued studying dance and re-auditioned after her first year. When she was rejected again, McDougald transferred to Columbia College Chicago; within the first month in Chicago, she landed a principle part (as Petra) in Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" directed by Susan Osborne-Mott. Her lauded role as the omnisciently vixenous maid, singing the musical's powerful 11 O'Clock number, "The Miller's Son", opened doors for Erin to perform in various other prestigious shows through the school and professional organizations, such as The Spirit of Chicago Cruiseline and as a featured singer at the newly opened "Pazzo's" in the financial district of Chicago. During this time, McDougald was still actively dancing through Columbia's apprenticeship with Modine and Company but eventually lessened her dance load due to her disenchantment with the modern technique heavily infused with the school's style and her interest in pursuing a career singing jazz.
