Ana's live shows are not to be missed!
"Ana has the rare gift of being so eloquent and simple
that she takes your breath away. I just love her."
-SHAWN COLVIN
"Ana's an exceptional songwriter, listen to the lyrics...the folk Nina Simone!"
-LUCINDA WILLIAMS
"Ana has one of the prettiest voices I've ever heard
and her songs are beautiful and refreshingly original"
-RON SEXSMITH
A folk singer with the guts for the job:
Folk music has long enjoyed a powerful association with social consciousness. A lot of gifted folk singers seem too fragile or precious for the burden of their work. Not so with Ana Egge, confessing loneliness without shame in the melodious Sailor, tackling patriotism without pride in the symphonic country of City of Liberty, and nailing Red-State/Blue-State disconnect on rollicking gem, Wedding Dress on her self-made guitar.

ANA EGGE
Out Past the Lights
Brooklyn-by-way-of-Austin songsmith Ana Egge emerges from opening-act status for the likes of Shawn Colvin and Ron Sexsmith to deserving headliner with her fourth CD, "Out Past the Lights," a breakout collection. Egge sings about tangled relationships and new beginnings in her lyrical tunes that are dreamlike and haunting, delicate and rough, folksy and hard-strum rocking. While she could easily play the folk card with her acoustic guitar-crafted songs, Egge takes them to a new level, with instrumental flavors and textures from country (pedal steel), jazz (trumpet) and pop (electric guitar). Sexsmith contributes harmony vocals, guitarist Tony Scherr plays a stinging slide on the gritty "Closer to the Motor," and trumpeter Shane Endsley soars through the indelible pop tune "Straight to My Head." Highlights include "Motorcycle," which captures the freedom of the two-wheel-experience, and the quiet, show-stopping gem "Victoria," that clocks in at barely more than two minutes.
