Ann Walton is a Canadian singer/songwriter who has been honing her craft for years. Growing up she wrote poetry and listened to old jazz greats like Sarah Vaughan, and her good ear meant picking out melodies on her parent's old upright piano.
Since she first took the stage in her home town of Winnipeg, fans have been captivated by Walton's seemingly effortless piano playing and her original poetry set to song.
Since releasing her debut album in August '07, Ann has graced stages from Vancouver to Toronto and has performed at a variety of conferences, showcases and festivals, including the Winnipeg Folk Festival and Back Forty Folk Festival in 2008. She has also recently shared stages with Mark Berube, Danny Michel and Steve Forbert among others.
