Details:
For over 15 years fans have been begging Anastasia for a cd of cover tunes. People LOVE the way she can take a song, breathe some of her magic into it & create something unique & make it her own in a way that most have never witnessed before. âSlip Beneath the Coversâ Volume 1 is the first in a series of cover cds due to be released by the artist from 2007-2009. âI wanted to begin the series on a slightly romantic note, so I compiled a list of some of my favorite songs & the rest seemed to come naturally.â
People from all over the world travel to the lush, tropical island of Maui to frolic in this South Pacific paradise, not knowing what to expect when they stop off for some live music & one of those âblue foo-foo drinks with the umbrellaâ at one of the local night clubs. Much to their amazement, they come to find that they too have just discovered one of the best kept secrets of the Hawaiian islands!
Anastasia performs with her band, The VooDoo Suns & also has 3 duet partners, each with their own special attributes. Three guys, three different instruments, three different genres of music to explore with each of them. R&R, R&B, Jazz, Country, Originals & beyond. Her voice is so versatile that itâs hard to put her into just one category. âI wanted to perform all kinds of music & I wanted to take everything back to the essential basics. There is something pure & authentic in music performed with just a voice, guitar & percussion or a piano or keyboard to accompany it. That thought was the inspiration behind my duet projects. Itâs been so well received & so many people wanted to take home a part of what theyâd experienced that making a series of cover CDs was the logical next step.â

From 1991-2001
Anastasia moved to Maui & formed the highly-acclaimed alternative rock band âThe Missionariesâ. They extensively toured the Hawaiian club circuit for 7 years. In that time they won recognition from MTVâs independent band contest & received mention in âVanity Fairâ magazine in an interview with screenwriter Joe Estherhaus. Appearing on the âTonight Showâ with Jay Leno, Dennis Rodman talked about the time that he & Eddie Vedder of âPearl Jamâ joined the Missionaries on stage at a Lahaina night club. Rodman wrote about that experience in his book, âAs Bad As I Want To Beâ.
In the summer of 1996 the Missionaries recorded & produced an all-original CD. That year they performed on stage with âHootie & the Blowfishâ. Anastasia landed in singerâs heaven when she was invited on stage to sing a cappella with âLadysmith Black Mombazoâ. From 1998 to the present, she has continued her session work and has recorded several independent CD projects. Sheâs opened for a diverse range of shows including âYESâ and Randy Travis.

She spent most of her childhood wandering through the wilderness exploring the the sounds & rhythms of her natural surroundings. Thus, the beginning of her fascination with sound, voice, percussion & dance. She began performing at age 7 & continued throughout high school. She moved to Los Angeles at 19, where she collaborated on various recording projects before joining a rock band & toured throughout southern California & the southwest U.S.
