ANNE HILLS
Anne Hills is one of the most beloved voices of the contemporary folk music scene, receiving awards and recognition for her live performances, her unique solo and collaborative recording projects, and her overall artistry and benefit work. Whether she is singing her own songs, the words of six year old Opal Whitely, or her song settings of the Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb Riley; accompanied with her guitar, banjo, or simply a Tibetan bell, she puts her whole heart and soul into the moment. You won’t want to miss hearing her stories and songs in person.
She tours extensively, winning over audiences with her warm, lively and humorous performances. The AllMusic Guide says, “A stunning soprano tone has made Anne Hills one of contemporary music’s premiere vocalists … Her knack for writing heartfelt songs [has] brought her to the upper echelon of her craft.” and Tom Paxton says, “Anne Hills is such an exquisite singer that it’s understandable that people might be swept up in the pure beauty of her voice and thereby overlook her writing. That would be a mistake. For me, Anne’s writing, in songs like ‘Follow That Road’ and many others, is as direct, melodic and deep as any work being done today. She is quite simply one of my absolute favorite songwriters.” Hear more from Anne at: www.annehills.com. 
CONCERT OPENER: JIM GARY
Opening the evening for Anne will be folk club member Jim Gary, a Kerrville "New Folk" Finalist and award-winning folk-pop songwriter with a tremendous knack for clever lyrical imagery. Jim has a rich vocal timbre and his original songs are framed in a variety of musical styles, but share a similar character with the classic work of Jimmy Webb and John Denver. |
