Ann plays guitar and a few other stringed things like mandolin, dobro, and lap steel. As a composer/songwriter, she has toured in Europe consistently for 10 years, played house concerts in the U.S., was a featured artist in St. Barth’s, received lots of nice press from well known publications such as Billboard and HARP, and from local media both in the U.S. and Europe. She has written music for three documentaries for French television, THE ENERGY FACTORY (an organization committed to tackling the growing problem of child obesity in the United States), and Metro Music, Inc., a library which has placed her music in television shows worldwide. As a guitarist, Ann was a featured soloist with Ani DiFranco on several shows, and she has had the honor of playing, writing, and recording with Kate Pierson of the B-52s, Joan Osborne, Dana Fuchs, Darden Smith, PM Dawn, Randall Woolf and Maurice Sendak (for a ballet of "Where the Wild Things Are"), Keri Noble, Sara Lee, Natalie Imbruglia, Mary Lee's Corvette, Jon King of the Gang of Four, the American Composers Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, and Todd Almond, among others. She even went to Saudi Arabia with Mary McBride as a cultural envoy. She has performed on Broadway in Grease, 9 to 5, Everyday Rapture, Baby It’s You, and Kinky Boots.
