The library is pleased to host singer/songwriter Anna May for a concert in the Amphitheatre on Tuesday, August 20 at 6:30 PM! This concert is FREE. Rain location inside the library.

“Alternative tragic Americana, invocations for peace & judgment reshaping with bleeding heart stream of consciousness poems.”

Anna May is a critically acclaimed songwriter & vocalist who strives to bring jazz elements into the format of folk. Originally from Connecticut, before becoming a western transplant, Anna is a singular artist whose songs bear a placelessness that lends to their timeless nature.

Anna’s lyrical sensibility is steeped in wisdom, and layered with evocative musicality and metaphysical embroidery while eschewing the mainstream & parting with platitudes. Anna explores both estrangement and connection while taking cues from artists like Billie Holiday, Shawn Colvin, Neil Young, Mazzy Star, Lana del Rey, and Leonard Cohen. As a yogi, pianist, teacher & poet, she masterfully blends all of her influences into her songwriting. Anna May was nominated for best Indie song of 2023 by Indie Boulevard Magazine.
