"DeChant doesn't sound like Sheryl Crow. She doesn't sound like the Indigo Girls, or the Dixie Chicks, or any of the other acts I've heard her likened to. She's a woman with her own distinct voice, her own unmistakable style. She sounds like Anne E. DeChant. And nobody-nobody-sounds like Anne E. DeChant as well as she does." (Scott Shriner, Record Publishing Co.-2003)
"Singer-songwriter Anne E. DeChant combines the best of folk music with introspective, personal songs...." (comic legend Harvey Pekar/star of American Splendor,(Best of Cleveland- Cleveland, Splendor Picks -The Cleveland Plain Dealer, March 2004).
Anne E. DeChant first caught the attention of local music fans as the charismatic frontwoman of Odd Girl Out, showcasing her astute, socially aware songs. Following the band's breakup, she went on to a busy solo career, producing four CDs, including her rock-oriented debut, "Effort of the Spin", the introspective "Something of the Soul", intimate storytellers CD, "Live, An Evening with Anne E. DeChant" and the sparkling, tuneful "Pop the Star". This last produced by Don Dixon whose resume includes producing, writing and performing credits with R.E.M., Hootie and the Blowfish, The Counting Crows, Joe Cocker, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Marti Jones, The Smithereens and Marshall Crenshaw.
Anne,4-time winner of Cleveland's Best Singer Songwriter award (Cleveland's Scene Magazine), and 2007 inductee into The Cleveland Free Times Magazine's All Star Musician Category, recently completed her fifth album, "Girls and Airplanes" at Rolling Thunder Studios in San Diego. So impressive was Anne's live show aboard Olivia Cruise Lines, that a representative of Rolling Thunder Studios approached her after one performance and offered her a trip to San Diego to record a demo. Work began on that demo and before it was finished, Anne was offered a deal for full-length CD. The result: DeChant's most lush, finely crafted recording to date. "Girls and Airplanes" is produced by Andy Ackland (Dishwalla, Eagles, The Darkness, Tom Petty, Jason Mraz, Josh Stone) and the pairing of Ackland and DeChant will not only delight her fans but turn the heads of those who have been waiting to hear a voice so passionate, outspoken and profound.
Anne has performed at Lilith Fair, The White House, opened for Nora Jones, Train, Vonda Shepard, 10,000 Maniacs, Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett and Guster, to name a few. She appeared in the Vagina Monologues as Cleveland's Belkin Productions pick for celebrity guest performer, done countless radio and television performances, and logged hundreds of club dates.
In 2005 Anne was invited to be a showcase performer on Olivia Cruise Lines Eastern Carribean Cruise along with Melissa Etheridge and a host of other performers. Her political "sound-off" "Second Class Citizen" (included on "Girls and Airplanes") and Second Class Citizen T-shirts were highlighted in the August 16th, 2006 issue of The Advocate. The song and shirt deal with the issue of same-sex marriage in the United States and the relegation of same-sex couples to the status of 2nd Class Citizens under the law.
DeChant is a standout delivering brilliant performances from her long list of poignant and catchy songs. Anne's format stretches from solo/acoustic, acoustic duo and trio to full band performances. Each one is a unique experience offering her audience and venues a performance tailor made. She is a storyteller, creating characters as diverse as the landscapes in which she paints them.
Anne E. DeChant is a seasoned artist that is as gutsy as she is sensitive, as subtle as she is striking, and is poised for a position on the national stage and beyond.

Song updates!! I am so glad to get a copy of Wait for Me. We loved it at the Jimmy's Cafe show! It went on My MP3 Blackberry just now. Great single!! paul
so sorry about that I must have told you the wrong one.
That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all angry because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like contests and stuff instead of cash.
But anyways, the correct site is
W A V E 5 0 0 . COM
it's the one I am making $700 a week with putting in about 24 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm day dreaming.
After you get your membership make sure you register with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay pay top dollars, I got $60 for one that took me 45 minutes today. You'll see what I'm rambling about when you start up.
Laura started taking them too and she's making $850 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.
Alright well me and Dan are getting ready to leave now, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership. TTYS hun
We sure hope you will stop out to the Symposium at 9:30 this Saturday, March 29th! Should be a blast with three bands. This being our first time up that way, you can either dig us or drop us (but we think you'll dig us ;-) BTL
Anne! Great show at the Nickel last night!! We will see you at the remaining gigs. Linda put us on the presale for the Winchester too. Love you, Paul and Christine (from Copley)
It's Anne E. DeChant week in my truck! It's been great relieving the memories of coming to so many of your shows. Hopefully someday you'll get out to Colorado Springs and show this place what great music is all about. Take care~Lydia
