Anna Christie

Since she was young, AnnaChristie has been a singer, a writer, and a performer. She sang in musicals, wrote poetry, acted in stage plays. Around age 16, she began writing songs and playing guitar, performing live with friends and family. Since then, she has worked hard to hone her skills, to craft songs to release on a full length album.
For booking, Anna worked in the studio with her friend, Joshua Komorowski of Love Syndicate, to record her first demo. Not only did she begin to get gigs, but she saw the demand for her CDs. From there, work began on the full length album. In preparation for the Philadelphia Folk Fest, AnnaChristie took some basic tracks from the album and had them mixed as a demo.
After hearing a demo recording, Ritchie Cole (legendary Jazz alto -sax player), volunteered to appear on her first recording.  Soon after other great musicians followed...Bob Harris (President of Ampersand Records, and personal accompianist for legendary Vassar Clements)...Steve Hollaway (drummer on the Irish Dance Musical "River Dance"),...and the great mad violinist Travis Wetzel, among others such as pedal steel guitarist Joe Dye who joined the project.  She is also aided by her talented sisters Cassandra and Beatrice Sadler with the vocal harmonies on some tunes.
As of this writing, her first recording is almost finished, and promises to be quite exciting...rough unfinished cuts can be heard on this web site.  Her songs are new as well as classical in composition.  No one sounds quite like her.  She has an extraordinary voice that at one second could break glass, and in the next moment becomes soft as a flower petal.  Her style is a mix somewhere between Jazz and Folk with a bluesy touch of Soul.  Her songs have evolved from the poetry she has written throughout her life and reflect her hope that lyrical beauty can unite people.
All those interested in booking her, she is available alone or with Travis Wetzel or Ritchie Cole. Currently, she is attending West Chester University.
