Appreciation... Anni Rossi

I have to admit that I had never heard of Anni Rossi before attending the Camera Obscura show in Philly recently, but seeing her live made me an instant fan! She was the opening act for the evening and when she took the stage with just her violin and her drummer, Devin Maxwell, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I was instantly astounded by her songs, her voice, and her versatile handling of her instrument. I can't think that I have ever seen someone handle their violin not only as a classical string instrument but as a percussion instrument as well. But you don't need my meager assessment of her work, just watch the videos here and let her performance speak for itself!

Live from The Interview Show hosted by Mark Bazer at The Hideout, in Chicago, here's the track "Machine".



Also here is her official video for "The West Coast" off of her new album Rockwell, out now on 4AD Records. This was directed by: Rollin Hunt.
