“Alternative tragic Americana, invocations for peace & judgment reshaping with bleeding heart stream of consciousness poems.”
Anna May is a critically acclaimed songwriter & vocalist who strives to bring jazz elements into the format of folk. Originally from Connecticut, before becoming a western transplant, Anna is a singular artist whose songs bear a placelessness that lends to their timeless nature.
Anna’s lyrical sensibility is steeped in wisdom, and layered with evocative musicality and metaphysical embroidery while eschewing the mainstream & parting with platitudes. Anna explores both estrangement and connection while taking cues from artists like Billie Holiday, Shawn Colvin, Neil Young, Mazzy Star, Lana del Rey, and Leonard Cohen. As a yogi, pianist, teacher & poet, she masterfully blends all of her influences into her songwriting. Anna May was nominated for best Indie song of 2023 by Indie Boulevard Magazine.
