(18% gratuity and online service charge added at checkout under "fees”) Born in Toledo, Ohio, Ramona Collins was reared in Lansing, Michigan, by a jazz pianist/singer mother—the late Alice (Collins) Carter—who encouraged her daughter to sing at an early age to combat her shyness. Today, anyone fortunate enough to witness the veteran performer at work will detect not a whit of shyness. Sultry, seasoned, witty and cool are words that come to mind when experiencing this engaging performer whose command of the stage and vast repertoire have helped her establish a solid rapport with club, concert and festival audiences wherever she goes. During the 70s, she fronted several funk, top 40, and show bands that toured the country. When the traveling began to take a toll on her family life, She started singing at clubs that were close to home so she could be with her five children. It was during this period that her mother's advice proved sage, and the standards that Ramona had learned as a youngster became the foundation for her career as a jazz performer.
