The crowd started to thin out by the end of the evening, which usually happens. Shame for them, because they missed the highlight of the evening. Annie Crane came down from New York to play her rustic folk and Americana songs that invoke the sounds of Gillian Welch and Joni Mitchell. Even though she was battling a cold, Annie’s voice was astounding as she sang songs about love and fear and other things. The entire place got deathly silent as she sang a traditional Irish song a capella, the kind she said her mother sang to her as a child. She was by far my favorite of the night and will be eager to check out her new album “Jump With A Child’s Heart,” coming out in October. Link directly to article on the RVA website here.
And a very kind, early review on my new album due for release on Oct 4th. Thanks SSG Music!
Annie Crane is one of New York City’s promising folk acts.Crane’s lyrics are wonderfully poetic in all of her songs, and she holds true to her “Folk/Americana” label writing actual folk songs and even shared the stage with the legendaryEmmylou Harris. “Jump With A Child’s Heart” is a time capsule left from traditional folk to re-acquaint itself with the once prominent NYC folk scene. Between the sincerity of Crane’s lyrical content and her ability to write the sort of tunes to back them, Annie Crane is an artist to follow through the farmlands and the cities (the title of her previous album, which is also well worth a listen.)
