Anne-Marie Sanderson
Free Event
Anne-Marie Sanderson's voice is evocative of birds in flight - soaring, gliding, swooping - and it finds its home among the tall trees of her deft guitar work. Describing Anne-Marie's distinctive indie-folk music in these terms is apt; she is an artist who casts a careful eye and attentive ear to the natural world, alternating between wide-eyed wonder and wry observation.
With two EPs already released into the wild, Anne-Marie’s “Book Songs Vol. 1” EP, a collection of songs inspired by books, was released in April 2018. With a resolutely DIY approach, picked up during her time living in Portland, Oregon, the EP was self-recorded and self-released. The release was followed by a self-booked tour, which saw Anne-Marie playing over 60 dates in the UK and Europe in 2018.
After a decade spent living all over the map, Anne-Marie has recently returned to her native Cumbria, where she now lives in Kendal.
For fans of Nick Drake, Vashti Bunyan, Beth Orton and books.
