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’s first album is a product of the tenacity and faith required to overcome a threat to one’s identity.
