My name is Della Anne Gleason. I am a 20 year old acoustic singer/songwriter/performer from St. Louis, MO now attending McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul, MN. As a single performer in St. Louis I played regularly at restaurants, micro-breweries, and community events. I am currently looking for playing opportunities in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area.
For BOOKING email me at dellaannegleason@sbcglobal.net or call 314-265-2029.
This Friday, we are debuting a project called Sonic Transformations. Every month or so we will present a new audio-visual performance based on a different theme/story. We will be collaborating with artists and other creative musicians along the way so let us know if you have something you'd want to bring into this project.
The first in the series is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.
Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. It will be a musical adventure, and we hope that you can come participate :)
Here's the info:

Hey Della Anne, I don't know if you remember me, but I caught you at a show on a Friday in St.Paul at the Bean Factory I want to guess around April of 2008. I tried to see you and the full band from McNally Smith at the Varsity battle-of-the-bands around that time too, but I rmember arriving too late for your performance (I have another concert that evening, The Dear Hunter, that conflicted unfortunately.
So, I've been wondering what you've been up to. You released an EP? I've love to hear it sometime. Hopefully that and maybe catch you live again (and my friend John who told me about you in the 1st place, lol).
I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time a few days ago. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
Blood Root Mother will be playing at Trocaderos in Minneapolis on Friday, June 26th. I cannot stress enough how awesome this show will be!! We're playing with three of the sweetest local rock bands: Claret, Niobium and Casanatra. If you haven't heard these guys, check them out immediately! Please come to this show!!
I recommend stopping by during happy hour for two for one drinks along with free buffet, which is delicious. We'll be hanging out at Trocs all night, so come by and chill/party with us :)
Again, here's the event info:
Friday, June 26th Trocaderos 107 3rd Ave N Minneapolis, MN 18+ // $6 // 8pm
Please come out and support some great local music!! Music starts at 9:30pm, we should go on around midnight. Invite your friends, pile into a car (or a party bus), and together we will make this one of the highlights of the summer :)
