ANNI PIPER

Anni Piper, Australia's First Lady of the Blues currently enjoying success with her chart-topping collaboration with Nicole Hart, Split Second (Blues Leaf Records), launches her 2013 U.S. Tour on June 10 with a show at the Rockstar Lounge in Lake City, FL (complete itinerary below; also at www.annipiper.com).

 

Piper first started playing electric guitar at age twelve, but switched to bass at age fourteen.  In 2004 Anni released an album entitled "Jailbait" in her native Australia, for which she won "Best New Talent" at the 2005 Australian Blues Music Awards. Subsequent album releases include 2007's "Texas Hold 'Em," 2010's "Chasin' Tail" (released by Blues Leaf), and her newest, 2013's "Split Second." Blues Leaf also released "Two's Company,"  a compilation from her two Australian releases.  Throughout her burgeoning career, Piper's charismatic stage presence and sultry vocals have garnered her both great reviews and multiple music industry awards nominations.

  

Released earlier this year, Split Second continues receiving extensive international radio airplay (including charting on Living Blues) and was a recent "Pick to Click" on SiriusXM's popular Bluesville show while earning terrific reviews from music critics everywhere.

 

She drops by on Tuesday, July 2, at 7pm EST.
