Kentucky is beautiful! I just returned from playing 6 shows in 4 days with Peaks & Valleys in KY and OH. We had a great time and played Morehead State University’s “Americana Cross Roads”, a real deal Southern live radio show! I’ll post the podcast for you soon.

In a few weeks I’ll be playing the Fortified Summer Antifolk Festival held at the Sidewalk Cafe in Manhattan, 94 Avenue A at East 6th Street. The Antifolk Fest runs from August 9 to August 17 and  showcases a variety of the Antifolk scene’s most talented musicians. I’ll be playing Sunday, August 17th at 8:30pm! Go to www.sidewalkmusic.net for more info.

There are a few people in particular who deserve many thanks for making this website happen. Kelsey Dugan is my old friend and hometown neighbor. She is also a very talented artist who did all the art work you see here. Visit her website to check out more of her work: www.kelseydugan.blogspot.com. Patrick & Becca Connors are the masters behind the monster. They are the ones who actually built this site and were able to make a reality all the things I asked of them. Many thanks to these three lovely people.

To the rest of you, look around and enjoy!

“Annie Crane plays mournful songs with a voice that echoes Nancy Griffin, Joan Baez and Richard Thompson. Favoring a chugging guitar strum ala-Mark Kozelek, she spun a set of heartbreak that I thoroughly enjoyed”. Ben Krieger, www.JezebelMusic.com
