Anny Celsi: Her style has been described as “beatnik cool,” “pop-noir,” and “slightlydelic pop jangle,” and has evoked comparisons to artists like Aimee Mann, Lucinda Williams and Jackie DeShannon. The LA Weekly cited her as “one of this city’s smartest and catchiest pop songwriters.” Her 2009 album "Tangle-Free World,” produced by Nelson Bragg of the Brian Wilson Band, showcased influences ranging from Bacharach to The Bangles and back and was chosen by Al Kooper for his “Cream of the Crop” album list. Combining Brill Building hooks with a storyteller's eye for detail, Anny’s live performances infuse the traditionally introspective singer-songwriter format with wit, soul and energy.
