This Tuesday night (May 12th) you can see Parkinsong Records artist, Ana Egge, performing alongside Joel Plaskett, Rose Cousins, and Joel’s Dad, Bill Plaskett.
Singer-songwriter, Ana Egge, singings vocals on Joel Plaskett’s latest album Three, and she has her own CD that was just released in March, Entitled Road to My Love, the album was reviewed in Rolling Stone magazine, and Lucinda Williams calls her “the folk Nina Simone”.
More about Ana:
In Robert Frost’s iconic poem “The Road Not Taken,” the narrator looks back wistfully on a lifetime of choices and how the “road less traveled . . . has made all the difference.” Ana Egge has been forging her own path for over a decade now. In the tradition of her parents, who Ana says were “motorcycle-riding hippy farmers in North Dakota, who created the unconventional life they wanted,” Ana’s path as an artist has been much the same — challenging herself to follow her instincts rather than trying to fit into any particular mold. This honest approach has produced an impressive body of work and earned Ana a reputation as a musician’s musician, with unforgettable live performances and lyrics that paint vast landscapes and stories in her singular style. It’s no wonder she’s been compared to legends like Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, and Bonnie Raitt. But, perhaps USA Today said it best when they wrote, “[Ana] can write and sing rings around” her contemporaries.
See Ana live with Joel Plaskett this Tuesday night at the Habitat.
