Anna La Mare

EARNEST WAYFARING FOLK NOIR Singer-songwriter Anna La Mare (ANuh Lah MAH-ray) blends roots music and Celtic storytelling with Southern Gothic elements to create stormy, poetic Americana animated by her powerful and haunting voice. She has been described as "emotional honey," "folky Florence and the Machine," "indie Joan Baez" and "a soul-driven embodiment of Joni Mitchell". The well-traveled storyteller has been writing songs since she opened the first page of a journal as a child. When she wasn’t falling asleep in the back of the jazz clubs where her mother sang, she was learning traditional American and Celtic tunes on family road trips. Diving into the music scene of the North Carolina Piedmont, she fell in love with the balladry of Americana and discovered the foundation for her own music which she carried to New Orleans and then on to Austin, TX, where she now lives. La Mare is a true artist of the road, strumming and singing the stories she's picked up in her travels, poised to enliven the wanderer in every listener.
