BIOGRAPHY

At the tender age of nine Anna Sali began wowing audiences in her native Idaho with her startlingly unique voice. At age fifteen she picked up the guitar and started penning her own music and lyrics. The rest, as they say, may well end up being history as the grassroots buzz expands from her first independent release, "Anna Sali".

As the artist herself describes, "My music is my art. I sing and write what is inside of me and hope that my music sends a positive message."

Positive indeed! It's almost as though this strikingly gifted twenty one year old singer/songwriter has a nostalgic connection to bygone days and simpler times when a great song and superb voice were all that was needed to stir the passion in your soul.

It's true that Anna's music is so unique it almost defies classification. Call it reminiscent folk, call it soulful americana, call it roots country but after one listen we know you'll call it phenomenal!

If it were a recipe from the Music Business Cookbook it might go something like this:

in a blender combine equal parts: Norah Jones, Jewel, Lucinda Williams & Joni Mitchell.
add a dash of Shawn Colvin.
sprinkle lightly with KT Tunstall.
add a splash of Alison Krause.
season with Ricki Lee Jones to taste.
pulse gently and serve loud.

enjoy the "dazzlingspellbindingbreathtakingannasali"
with your friends.

Recorded at L.A.'s Backroom Studios and utilizing the talents of many of the world's top session musicians including members from the bands of Kelly Clarkson, Shania Twain and Carole King, this collection of self-penned tunes represents Anna's first foray into the studio and the first opportunity for the world to share in Anna's unique gift.

Congratulations you have just discovered one of America's best kept secrets!
