Annie Bacon @ Sengthong’s Blue Sky Room, w/ Savannah Jo Lack + Chris Pickering March 17, 2010

With sparkle and spitfire, musical soothsayer Annie Bacon heartfully woos, artfully wows and effortlessly wins you over with smart and catchy Indie Pop songs.

Annie Bacon takes feminine empowerment to the personal level with her song "I Am Great & You Are Just an Idiot." Not only will you be humming the tune around the office you may just make it your new anthem. A refreshing combination of honesty, wit and musicality speaks for a generation of women who know themselves and make their own choices.

Comparisons range from Feist to Stevie Nicks, but with her utterly adorable presence and contagious songs, Annie Bacon is a genre all her own. Her music is “frothing with Folk Pop playfulness,” with sensitive, highly literate lyrics, and a compelling voice leading gorgeous harmonic textures and playful riffs. Every song is a story gathered from Annie’s study of humanity, life, and awe, artfully carrying the listener and keeping them waiting for the resolution. Comfortable on the electric or acoustic guitar, the ukulele and the upright or electric bass, Annie breaks the old mold of female singer-songwriter, bringing both femininity and innovation to the stage.

Her most recent EP - There Is No Reason Here (There is only a persistent feeling that we ought to look closely and love deeply) - was release in November 2009 on the Berkeley Opus Music label. Annie has shared the stage with Jesse de Natale, Devon Sproule, Andy Friedman & the Other Failures, Luce, Blame Sally, Il Gato, Thomas Bryan Eaton, and many others.
