Bio
Annie Becker: Bohemian Songstress.Vancouver Island Vocalist of the Year 2013.
Somewhere between the chorus of a Broadway Musical and the bustling streets of British Columbia Annie Becker was born. Its hard to believe this girl is from the West Coast and not from the basement of a late 30s Jazz Club. Becker has been cloaking her audiences in a Gyp-sea of guitars, ukuleles, and drums laced with sultry soundscapes and groovy beat boxing styles over stages and streets across Canada. This is music you can play loud in your car.
"The lyrics are straight-forward, they are intelligent, and she's a very compelling performer. She has a powerful voice and a very theatrical delivery in the way she sings. When she sings, you listen."(Radio-Canada International) A front woman to be reckoned with, Becker effortlessly leads that big band performance while remaining a solo artist through and through.Beckers musical influences: the raw emotion and soul of Ani DiFranco, Adele, and Jack Johnson, flavored with the diva-like hookiness of a late 30s Vaudeville Cabaret.
Annie has been touring through New York, Thailand, Montreal, and British Columbia for the past 3 years playing such festivals as The Big Time Out, Arts Wells, The Sunshine Music Fest, and Edge of the World on Haida Gwaii. Now in Winter Annie is recording and will be launch her 'Back to the City' EP in Spring 2014.
