ANNA'S ELECTRONIC PRESS KIT
Anna Vogelzang is unavoidably soulful. She has major vocals. She was a vocal major. Anna started writing terrible poetry when she turned 13 and started playing the guitar because she wanted to be like Jewel. Later in her young adult years she traveled & lived in lots of different cities, sharing stages with awesome folks like: Franz Nicolay (The Hold Steady), Mirah (K Recs), Wye Oak (Merge Records), Deer Tick, Nat Baldwin (Dirty Projecters), Ecstatic Sunshine, Winterpills, Charlotte Martin, Tiger Saw, Casey Dienel (White Hinterland), Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio), and tons of other peeps. She also performed as a vocalist with The Dresden Dolls all around the country, notably at Lollapalooza 2006 & on NPR's World Cafe. During college she wrote a lot of essays about music and made two real records, the second of which (The Things That Airplanes Do) served as her senior thesis. She flew out to Capitol Records in glamtastic Hollywood to have it mastered by Ron McMaster (Diana Krall, The Beach Boys, Gwen Stefani). The Pittsburgh City Paper called her "an erudite pop star in the making" when she released the cd; she graduated in 2007 with a BFA in Creative Music Production from Carnegie Mellon University. Now she's living the starving singer-songwriter's dream traveling between Chicago, IL & Madison, WI where she plays around town all the time, much to the chagrin of her beauty sleep. She also drives all over the country playing music with her friends on DIY tours, and plans to keep on doing it no matter what - even if the gas prices make it impossible. Anna is a member of ASCAP.

"Her voice will blanket you with awe... Do whatever you can to see her live." - The Deli Magazine

Well, maybe winter is finally behind us. Snow in May, but now we finally have warmth. Almost 90 at times!
While we were struggling with snow, I wrote 'The Robin (Spring is Coming)' - it is my latest song. Come by and take a listen. Please let me know what you think.
