annA is an original and inventive singer-songwriter with a musical style that, although based in folk, spans an array of genres. A multi-instrumentalist musical dynamo, she intertwines this fluency with a poetic and intimate lyricism, communicating her unique take on the world around her. Her captivating stage presence is combined with a playful approach to performing which reaches out to the whole audience.
She performs solo gigs & releases records and with Sally Barker & Marion Fleetwood as IOTA, as a duo with Sally, as part of ‘The Sandy Denny Project’ and in collaboration with many other musicians, most famously Fairport Convention (who have recorded her songs "Sailing Boat" and "The Crowd").
"annA rydeR is Fairport’s favourite singer/songwriter. When I heard her I was just blown away, she writes such crafted songs, melodies with great feeling, I just had to play with her." (Dave Pegg)
