Anni
Piper remembers the moment she first heard the blues - It was Paul Butterfield and I knew straight away this was the
direction I was heading", she says. Anni has released a stunning
debut album of authentic Blues originals. With sultry vocals and excellent
musicianship. Jailbait marks the first leg of the journey
for this young woman from Wollongong.
At 26 she is one of the young, exciting new Blues talents emerging in
Australia, making an impact on the Blues scene. Her instrument is the
bass guitar ("preferring to lay down a groove rather than scream
out a solo"). A gifted Australian Blues songwriter, she is able
to capture the economy of language and wit of the Blues in her lyrics.
Feature tracks include: "Real Blues Mama" which describes
the ample proportions of the great female Blues singers, "Come
In My Kitchen" whips up a tasty blues meal, while the acoustic
"Man's Woman" celebrates the down to earth kind of woman that
blues men dream of!
