Beth Olson — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 18:22:15 +0000

Be sure to check out this video for the song “Milk-heavy, pollen-eyed” from Laura’s upcoming (january 2012) album La Grande. With her voice as hauntingly beautiful as ever, keep your eyes peeled for about the 1:18 mark where the video’s cinematography takes a subtle and cleverly planned turn. If you want to see Laura Gibson perform live be sure to check her out along with a fantastic line-up of other female performers at the Siren Nation Festivalcoming in November!

Star Anna Featured on NPR

siren nation — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:25:01 +0000

Star Anna and the Laughing Dogs’ “Through the Winter” is NPR’s Song of the Day! From the NPR blog:

“It’s not the years; it’s the miles.” “It’s not you; it’s me.” Combine those two well-worn phrases and you’ll have a pretty good grasp on Star Anna’s biting breakup song, “Through the Winter.” The young singer-songwriter exudes hard living, from her world-weary, head-turning voice and classic-sounding take on Americana straight through to her biting tales of love gone bad.

The twangy, angst-ridden “Through the Winter” chastises a spurned ex for his post-break-up bitterness, taking full responsibility for her part in the relationship’s demise while urging him to own up to the fact that it wasn’t working. In the process, she lands a killer blow or two. Read the whole story >

We are extremely thrilled to be featuring Star Anna in this year’s Siren Nation festival, Friday Night, November 6th, at the Someday Lounge. Read more about our music lineup.
