   Anny Celsi: General Info
Member Since2/9/2006
Band Websiteannycelsi.com
Band MembersBesides me...Jonny DuFresne/Guitar - Nelson Bragg/Drums - Shawn Bryant - Bass - and I’ve gotta give props to those awesome musicians who’ve either been in the band (at least once!), played on the CD or even just got up on stage to help out because I asked them nicely: Adam Marsland, Adam Pike, Mike Cusick, Teresa Cowles, Evie Sands, Steve Barton, Kevin Jarvis, Duane Jarvis, Randy Weeks, Marvin Etzioni, Phil Parlapiano, Bill Bonk, Carl Byron, Eddie Munoz, Robert Lloyd, Robbie Rist, Joe Berardi, Casey Dolan, Kirk Swan, Danny McGough, Sheldon Gomberg, Joey Peters, Rich Nibbe, Trevor Zimmerman, Bruce Kaplan, Claudia Russell, Cynthia Jones, Danette Christine, Steve Janowski, Robert Mache, Dale Allen, Jacque Grad, Ian Miller, Jason Mandell, Ivan Pyzow...and, perhaps one fine day, you?
InfluencesSam Cooke, Dusty Springfield, The Rascals, The Lovin Spoonful, Elvis Costello, Julie London, Dave Clark Five, The Beatles, Ronnie Spector, Crowded House, Everly Brothers, Bruce Springsteen, The Plimsouls, Translator, John Steinbeck, Theodore Dreiser, The Beach Boys, Mickey & Sylvia, The Byrds, Nick Lowe, Squeeze, my Lord and Savior Johnny Cash, Marshall Crenshaw, Bobby Darin, Major Lance, Sammy Davis Jr., Neil Diamond (I mean early Neil Diamond), Phil Spector, Joe Jackson, all things Motown esp. the Jackson 5, Blondie, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Steve Forbert, Loretta Lynn, Cab Calloway, The Ramones, Laura Nyro, Oscar Brown Jr., Shelby Lynne, Darlene Love, Creedence, Leonard Bernstein, Chuck Berry, Pretenders, Paul Revere & The Raiders, George Gershwin, Suzanne Vega, the O'Jays, Jackie Wilson, The Raspberries, Amy Rigby, Dolly Parton.

Sounds Like"Think of Victoria Williams, Aimee Mann, Suzanne Vega and Sheryl Crow mixed together and you begin to get the picture. Anny is pretty much their equal as a songwriter." -- S.P. Clarke, Two Louies

"...a marvelously cool, hip, subtle singer and songwriter, who can pull off the kind of genre-jumping of which I usually disapprove, equally convincing with a Dusty Springfield/Jackie DeShannon style ballad as a Peggy Lee-ish torch song...." -- John Conquest, 3rd Coast Music

"...a beatnik-cool performer who veers from poppy, bouncy beats to jazzy piano bar riffs and sexy come-onsshes sensitive but no wimp and a fellow traveler to Aimee Mann and Sheryl Crow. The pop-noir soundtrack of her solo debut, Little Black Dress, wears a veneer of L.A. Confidential style." -- Bob Ruggiero, Houston Press

"Affecting, pop-smart tunes" Chris Morris, Billboard

"An ultra-cool, ultra-hip album that is one of the best new releases I've heard in a long time. Check it out."-- Ed Kociela, Utah Daily News

"Anny Celsi possesses such a radiantly reassuring voice that it almost doesnt matter what shes singing about." -- Falling James, LA Weekly

   About Anny Celsi
"She was at the end of the bar, giving me her profile as she threw down her third martini. She had a mouth like an inkstain and a laugh like a fire engine, loud enough to drown out the band. I wondered what she was celebrating. A girl like that, a laugh that loud either shed just buried her husband or shed just gotten off shift at the Macys cosmetics counter. Either way was okay with me -- I could use a good laugh tonight. I motioned to the bartender for another, then nodded toward the end of the bar, where Fire Engine was busy spilling her purse and rethinking her lipstick. "Buyin one for the party doll, eh?" He shrugged as he reached for the gin. "Its your dime, buddy." Yeah. Everybodys a critic. [continued on page 58]"
