Songwriter, composer, and performer Annie Lou possesses a deeply felt connection to older folk music traditions. With guitar and banjo in hand, she has spent years chronicling the rural and urban life paths of Canada, writing songs to tell the tales of the hard-hit, hard-won victories of these working-class men and women. Annie Lou’s beautifully creative songs and tunes range from rousing and boisterous to gentle and poignant, and map a home scape of hard-drinking grandmas, rural dancehalls, blue-collar fashions, small towns, and big cities.
