Anna Spackman has a shameless and enduring love for human beings, and music is its vehicle. With a background in classical piano and a strong foundation in folk guitar, her captivating acoustic hooks and luminous voice have been likened to Joni Mitchell and Fiona Apple.
Anna is a gentle yet powerful presence when she takes the stage. Her songs are crafted with care and style, carried by her playful, lilting voice and rich guitar work.
