  • Bio

    Anita and the Yanks are an Irish rock band who have been performing in and around Los Angeles since 2008. A unique blend of the Old and New where Irish influenced melodies float over modern grooves and ancient, ambient strings that is refreshingly optimistic and is sure to uplift and soothe you. Anita Mansfield's songs haunt and heal you while her voice melts you. Bryan Dobbs's mandolin countermelodies support while Rachel Grace's violin explodes over top of some of LA's finest rhythm machines, Ryan Dean and Jimmy Murphy. What is created is a new sound all it's own, which somehow feels like a memory.
