Details:
Annie is a product of the Kansas plains. From early childhood she began summer escapes to the Colorado Rocky Mountains, where she now resides. Annie has worked as a teacher of outdoor education, an elementary school teacher of general and special education, and as a singer-songwriter performing solo and in groups. When she was 10, Annie requested a guitar or ukulele from her parents, and is grateful they provided the guitar. Music has been a constant companion ever since. Annieâs music mirrors her appreciation of nature and observations of humorous and poignant human experience.

âConnectedâ, Annieâs second album, reflects her connections to people and everyday situations, as well as reactions to lifeâs significant passages. The 13 pieces span a period of 12 years of songwriting and encompass a broad range of topics and styles, from solo acoustic guitar (âBike Rideâ) to more fully produced folk-rock (âStanding Tallâ and âConnectedâ.) Her good-natured humor is revealed in the tunes, âGravity is Bringing Me Downâ, âBell to Bell Bluesâ, and âWhistleâ. The title piece presents the irony that the ability to stay technologically connected may actually result in people losing the ability to connect. Of course, if youâre reading this, itâs a good thing that youâve gotten âconnectedâ!
