Sunday River

written by: Anne Weiss

genre: folk/acoustic

Anne is a poet and a wordsmith. Anne’s latest CD, Concrete World and the Lover’s Dream, features David Jacobs-Strain and was produced by rock great Kenny Passarelli. It received a Radiolndy Gold Artist award and has been receiving national and international accolades. Anne combines her story-telling technique with her song-writing talent to create a combination of a gospel, blues, funk, folk ballad in this song, "Sunday River". The listener is immediately taken with her imagery and passion. The audience is pulled in by her vocal ranges and harmonies and by the end one can see the girl at the bank, playing innocently in the sun, while around her war rages on. This song, "Sunday River," is timeless and appropriate for today's political climate. It is also the kind of song that needs to be sung not only on Sunday, but everyday, for all people, all over the world!

“Anne’s songs draw on the richness of her life - daughter of an opera singer, classical pianist turned blues guitarist, NY street gang member, mountaineer, social activist here and abroad, and writer/performer of songs that will stay with you forever. This is a must see performance." -Seattle Weekly
