Anne Loree is a Calgary based contemporary folk artist. Her song "Insensitive" was a breakthrough hit for Jann Arden, bringing her to the forefront of Canadian songwriting and earning her a Juno nomination. "Insensitive" has now been named a Canadian classic.
Since then Anne has released five CDs, (Beyond Cinderella, RoAr, Mullet Years, Leaving Shadowland and Make it Sparkle) performed several times at the EPCOR Engineered Air Songwriter's series in Calgary, the Alberta Sessions, at the Calgary, Vancouver and Winnipeg Folk Festivals and various workshops and songwriter showcases sponsored by Socan across Canada.
Whether in small clubs across Canada, or at festivals and showcases, Anne has a natural flare for connecting with her audience. Her live performances are always warm, witty and fun. She does a wonderful solo performance and often has talented musicians to back her up. Going back and forth on piano and guitar she delivers a unique and evocative sound through stylized vocals, smart arrangements and powerful lyrics. Anne also delivers her haunting rendition of "Insensitive." Just the way she wrote it.
Anne is currently writing a new body of work for an up and coming CD which will feature herself, bassist Diane Kooch and drummer Peter Moller and will be touring Quebec and Southern Ontario, this fall with Diane. She is also preparing for a music/art exhibition featuring her watercolors in 2010.
