Annie Donahue will be opening for David. She is a singer/songwriter from the Philadelphia area. Annie began her music career as part of the Folk Duo “The Copper Ponies” whose debut EP “Ring Them Bells” was the most played album on Folk Radio during June of 2013 (Michael Kornfeld, AcousticMusicScene.com, July 8, 2013).
Annie stepped away from music later that year to have her son, and for the next few years, was a singer with the “Bubba Mac Blues Band” in Ocean City, NJ.
“Annie…has a natural gift for communicating feeling in music- a deceptively simple style that allows for a powerful emotional honesty.” “A fresh new voice in the folk world,” (Jackie Morris, Folk Works, 2013).
Excited to return to the music scene as a solo artist, Annie performs original and cover songs in the genres of Folk and Blues.
Here is a link to a performance at the Lizzie Rose Music Room in February of this year.
