About
AMY ANNELLE is a modern-day songwriter whose work balances imagination with a reverence for America's restless, divergent musical past. She's been recording and touring for over a decade, crafting "richly textured, exotic song-worlds that often bear little resemblance to standard voice-and-guitar folk songs" (Billboard). Through many seasons, across many miles, Annelle has cultivated a rarefied voice and a repertoire that "blooms with open-hearted, lustful vulnerability and a harrowing naturalistic solitude" (Crawdaddy).
"The Cimarron Banks" is Annelle's seventh album; it was written way up on the Oklahoma Panhandle's feral badlands and recorded in her adopted hometown of Austin, Texas.
In addition to her own work, Annelle has sung with Michael Hurley, Bill Callahan, Jandek and indie band Okkervil River; she has been billed with notable modern folk artists Roy Harper, Jolie Holland, and Colin Meloy. The new year finds Annelle teaming up with Austin's best and brightest, performing live as Amy Annelle & the True Vine. The ensemble features percussionist Nick Hennies (Weird Weeds), bassist Lindsey Verrill (Some Say Leland, Dana Falconberry) and multi-instrumentalist Roy Coon (Wino Vino, Minor Mishap Marching Band).
