Artist Information Biography Classically trained in voice, piano, and 'cello, Flo Anito began her singer/songwriter career at age 16 when she got her hands on her first guitar. Already rewarded for her musicality with All-State recognition and roles in Summer-stock theatre, songwriting came naturally to this young talent who has quickly proven herself a prolific writer of thought provoking jazzy pop songs in the vein of Fiona Apple, Jewel, Ani Difranco, and Nellie McKay.     Since her recent graduation from Wesleyan University with a BA in Music, Flo has made Washington, DC her home. She is a favorite at the National Cherry Blossom Festival, has played Celebrate Fairfax (headliners included Joan Jett, Blues Traveler, and Ok Go), and was asked to open for Theresa Andersson, a Swedish musician featured in 'Rolling Stone'. Flo heads the local chapter of Just Plain Folks, an international music networking organization and has performed and sold out of her debut cd in venues across New England and the Mid-Atlantic states.       2009 has been a big year for Flo. Big gigs included: Virgin Free Fest at Merriweather Post Pavilion (headliners were Weezer, Blink 182, and the Bravery) , a CMJ showcase at Amber in the NYC, and a feature video on the website for the National Association of Broadcasting.        Her new full length cd, "No Dustbunnies" recorded with Chris Keup (O.A.R., Erin McKeown), Stewart Meyers (Lifehouse), and Brian Jones (Dave Matthews Band, Mandy Moore) has made the top selling charts on both CDbaby and Digstation and tracks from it have been selected for several compilations and a documentary. This exciting new record along with her lively performance style, powerful voice, and candid lyrics make her a force to be reckoned with so... look out!
