Anna May has a PhD in breakup songs.
Her music is an alternative tragic Americana, invocations for peace & judgment reshaping with bleeding heart, stream of consciousness poems. Anna May is an eclectic artist whose songs bear a placelessness that lends to their timeless nature. With a penchant for bright dreams and small towns, folk ballads and cosmic, experimental dreamscapes, Anna’s music sails and soars with a genre defying fluidity that is entirely unique, with a vocal quality that touches something so deep and visceral.
Anna’s music has been featured on WFUV the iconic independent radio of Fordham University in New York, KUTX in Austin and the Los Angeles Wildwood Flower Radio Hour.

This show will be a powerful blend of jazz and soul with touches of Daneen’s gospel roots. As always she will bring world class, grammy award winning musicians and maybe her sisters and daughter as back up vocalists to produce a sound that will make a strong man weep. We only get a chance to have Daneen once every couple of years. Don’t miss this opportunity.
The San Diego Reader says, “Just imagine someone with a set of pipes comparable to Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples or Etta James.”
