Like "Carole King, with some extra swing!" In fact, the vocal microphone Anne used on the new recording of Cookin' in the Kitchen, was the same one used during the recording of the legendary Tapastry album! Anne's music is reminiscent of adult contemporary hits of 70s & 80s. She is a vocalist, pianist, composer and lyricist with a conservatory degree in jazz and roots in rock, blues, R&B and country. Her shows include her original songs and some well-known jazz standards. Her well-crafted songs mix the simplicity and soul of Carole King's melodies with the R&B spirit of Laura Nyro's chords and rhythms. Weaving in lyrics that are sensible, without being sentimental, she never misses a toe-tappin' beat as she explores the struggles, loves, fears and joys of everyday heroes.
Anne has received grants from the Musician's Foundation and ASCAPlus. She was selected as a finalist with the UniSong International and Avalon songwriting competitions and the title track of her album is a selection of the Females on Fire III, a compilation produced by Warrior Girl Music. She is a student of Mike Longo, long-time pianist and arranger for Dizzy Gillespie.
