After graduating with a degree in drama from Syracuse University in 1996, Annie decided that she would postpone the inevitable trip to NYC or LA that all would-be actresses dream about, and take some time alone to see the country from the driver's seat of her red Subaru Justy. Starting in her hometown, Irasburg VT, a village of a couple hundred people, she headed southwest to Texas, where she found work briefly on a ranch in Mesquite. After a particularly trying day of giving antibiotics to horses with abscessed teeth and running snakes out of the barn, Annie's trusty Justy overheated on the highway en route to the rodeo, and when it cooled down, it just kept on going through the night, north to Denver and up to Cody Wyoming, where it stopped again. Now this felt right.
Annie stayed in Wyoming for months working odd jobs with outfitters and at the Cody Night Rodeo, but mostly, she wrote music. She wrote about broken wranglers and Cassie's Dancehall and drag queens living in small town America. She wrote about her time in London studying theatre and her time in that hotel near Wichita where she hunkered in the bathtub with a bible and a trucker waiting out a tornado that tore Peterbilts in the parking lot all to pieces, but left the Justy unscathed. Then, she went to New York City.
After a few years of theatre and commercial work in Boston and New York, Annie packed up again, and headed for her current home, Nashville. She couldn't forget the music that had been a part of her life since she wrote her first song at three years old. In Nashville, she carved her way through the conformity and maintained her unique style, and developed and devout following of Americana lovers. She was awarded the New Folk Award from the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas, and plays in Texas frequently now. She belongs to the infamous band of outlaw singer/songwriters known as Girls With Guitars, and she travels as much as possible playing music, always in search of great Americana artists who share her out-of-the-box vision. Sadly, the Subaru Justy has long since seen its last highway, though Annie continues her travels and her quest for playing and hearing great music. Her gift for working with people is directly influenced by her unusual life experiences, and her knowledge of the music business stems from her insights as a performer.
