Annie Mosher
"Annie Mosher's songs never fail to get me and leave me shaking my head saying 'I wish I wrote that...' The girl is a real writer and I believe she has a bright future in the music business." -Mary Gauthier, Lost Highway Recording Artist
"Annie won me over with her sassy and intelligent songs, her bigger than life presence..." -Mindy Smith, Americana Artist of the Year, Vanguard
It's no wonder that Kerrville New Folk winner Annie Mosher has developed a devout following in Nashville, and is rapidly charming the nation as a favorite on the Americana scene. Her waving red pigtails and infectious grin spare no one, leaving her audience entirely captivated.
Growing up in the rural stretches of northern Vermont along the Quebec border, Annie began writing music as a little girl, much of it reflecting her love for the outdoors and the unusual. After school, she packed up and headed out west alone, roaming from Texas to Wyoming, writing songs at night and working with horses during the days. Her travels eventually sent her to Nashville, her current home. Since then, she has gone back to the places where she once slept under the stars, this time to play clubs like Uncle Calvin's in Dallas, the Kerrville stages in
Texas, Eddie's Attic in Atlanta, the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Juanita's in Little Rock, and all points in between.
Annie's passion for performance is unparalleled. Her keen stage wit and humor are razor sharp and keep her fans coming back again and again, wondering what each show will bring, but certain that it will be
outstanding. She sings of the woman whose 'masterpiece thighs' steal her lover's heart, she drinks the preacher's strychnine and dances with the serpents in her bone-chilling song 'Salvation," she stomps her feet and laughs as she sings about the benefits of red panties and drugstore perfume. Annie draws a loyal crowd playing alone with her guitar, or with her small ensemble of powerhouse musicians, or with the infamous Nashville Girls With Guitars. She is a road-loving artist through and through, and her songs remain painful, beautiful, entirely different from anything else that's happening out there right now.
Her latest album, Nobody's Child, is brilliantly
outside the box. From lost truckers to the sad eyes of Nashville has-beens to the slot machine cross-dressers, Annie paints images that linger. She is a rising star, and those who cross her path instantly recognize this and are enchanted by her electricity and humbled by her depth. Annie is on the fast train to real greatness, and watching her go is a thrill not to be missed.
