Anita and the Yanks

About Me

Anita and the Yanks are a unique blend of the Old and New. Irish influenced melodies on top of modern grooves and ancient and ambient strings. Anita Mansfield's songs haunt and heal you while her voice melts you. Bryan Dobbs's mandolin countermelodies support while Rachel Grace's Violin explodes over top of some of LA's finest rhythm machines, Tommy Amato, Andy Reilly and Jimmy Murphy. What is created is a new sound all it's own, which somehow feels like a memory.
