Details:
Anita Lin's Americana/Country wakeless fits proper into the new country season built with the help of her main influences, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Lucinda Williams. Throughout the 90's, Lin honed her craft as a songwriter and began performing her music at local bars in 1997. Prompted by her fans, Lin recorded her debut CD entitled "This Book Knows", which was released in October 1999 and is working on her sophomore project due out this summer. Lin currently performs original material solo in her guitar/vocal style and can also be seen with accompaniment.

The evolution of Lin's musical life dates back to her experiences in high school as part of a garage band and performer in the annual talent show. Her country wakeless was born in Oklahoma, where she spent four years serving in the U.S. Air Force. Encouraged by her success performing covers at the base's talent show, Lin returned to the Chicagoland area and began writing original material. Lin subsequently performed at open mics, while attending Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Ill., and evolved into a one woman act in venues throughout Chicago and its suburbs. Lin moved to Nashville in 2001 to pursue her songwriting and continues to make regular trips there to showcase her talent and meet with other songwriters and performers.

Born in Chicago and a native of Park Ridge, Ill., Lin was predisposed to music from a young age. Her parents' influence stemming from their own love of music has inspired Lin to pursue her goals as a singer and songwriter. Lin's creativity expands beyond song to include authoring an original screenplay and two novels. At present, Lin is seeking publication of her latest effort "Jackpot", a novel about five strangers who take a trip toward self-discovery.

Anita Lin is currently promoting "This Book Knows" on her own label, Kitchen Entertainment. For booking information, contact Anita Lin or Lois Nawrocki at (615)319-3865.
