With sparkle and spitfire, musical soothsayer Annie Bacon heartfully woos, artfully wows and effortlessly wins you over with smart and catchy Indie Pop songs.
Annie Bacon takes feminine empowerment to the personal level with her song "I Am Great & You Are Just an Idiot." Not only will you be humming the tune around the office you may just make it your new anthem. A refreshing combination of honesty, wit and musicality speaks for a generation of women who know themselves and make their own choices.
Comparisons range from Feist to Stevie Nicks, but with her utterly adorable presence and contagious songs, Annie Bacon is a genre all her own. Her music is “frothing with Folk Pop playfulness,” with sensitive, highly literate lyrics, and a compelling voice leading gorgeous harmonic textures and playful riffs. Every song is a story gathered from Annie’s study of humanity, life, and awe, artfully carrying the listener and keeping them waiting for the resolution. Comfortable on the electric or acoustic guitar, the ukulele and the upright or electric bass, Annie breaks the old mold of female singer-songwriter, bringing both femininity and innovation to the stage. Her fan network has increased exponentially over the last year as her music makes its way across the globe, from the Bay Area to Holland, with “I Am Great & You Are Just An Idiot” at the vanguard ready to go viral.
Annie has shared the stage with Jesse de Natale, Devon Sproule, Andy Friedman & the Other Failures, Luce, Blame Sally, Il Gato, Thomas Bryan Eaton, and many others.
"De folkmuziek met Americana-invloeden van Annie Bacon klinkt heel verfrissend. Het nummer "You Are Just An Idiot" is een aanstekelijk liedje. Het zou zo gebruikt kunnen worden in een scéne uit de film "Juno" [The folk music with Americana influences of Annie Bacon sounds very refreshing. The number "You Are Just An Idiot" is a contagious song. It could would be used in a scene from the film "Juno".] [Seat-World, Netherlands]
"sounds fresh and clear, new and living" [Jesse DeNatale]
"Anne Bacon's music buoys the listener upon a gentle surging tide of sweet melodies frothing with folk pop playfulness and just the right dash of salty insights." [Sol Crawford, Amnesia, San Francisco]
"Annie Bacon is one of the most dynamic and charismatic performers I've ever seen, and I have seen lots. She doesn't just play songs on a stage. She creates moments between her and her audience, whether there are 6 or 600 people listening. These moments draw me in time and again. And yes - when Annie plays, it really is "her audience" as she has everyone eating out of her hands and drinking her koolaid by the time its all over. Oh - and her voice is golden and her songs are smart and simple all at once. When Annie is on stage - its pretty clear that that's where she belongs. I believe her."
[Howie Cockrill, Opus Music Ventures]
