Alternative tragic Americana, invocations for peace & judgment reshaping with bleeding heart stream of consciousness poems. The deep exploration of heartbreak and trauma has been an ongoing quest throughout Anna's work. Her lyrics have been heavily textured by a lonesome whimsicality that finds itself most at home in the vastness of the American West or in landscapes of stark frontiers. Anna's music honors the nomadic spirit with memory, meditation & fresh interpretations of folk music & jazz influence. She honors a hope to enhance connection, humility, healing, and joy among people in the process of parting with typical genre rules. Anna's lyrical sensibility is steeped in wisdom, and layered with evocative musicality and metaphysical embroidery while eschewing the mainstream & parting with platitudes. Anna explores both estrangement and connection while taking cues from artists like Billie Holiday, Shawn Colvin, & Neil Young. Anna has been compared to artists like Jeff Buckley & Aimee Mann. Anna has opened for artists like Kacy Hill, Amythyst Kiah, The Arcadian Wild, People Museum, & Jann Klose.
Anna has performed at wildflower music & arts festival, treefort music festival, Brick and Mortar Music Hall in San Francisco, High Dive in Seattle, the Mint in Los Angeles, Spiderhouse Ballroom in Austin, Rockwood Music Hall in New York City, Larimer Lounge in Denver, PNC Live Studio, & many more.
