The Sound Lounge

We are thrilled to welcome Anna Howie and her band to The Sound Lounge as part of her 'Good For Roses' tour. Anna Howie worked as a session musician and backing vocalist for 25 years during which time she gigged across Europe and performed live Radio 2 sessions with Brian May. Her first solo EP, 'An Idiot's Guide to Love', recorded in 2019 in Nashville and produced by Grammy Award Winner Bob Britt went straight to Number 5 in the UK Country Charts. In March 2022. Anna released a debut album, 'The Friday Night Club', named after a Facebook live-stream she started from her front room during lockdown and went on to have nearly 2 million views. The album produced by Lucas Drinkwater at Polyphonic Studios is made up of 11 self-penned songs, telling tales of lockdown loneliness and human triumph and was described as "Americana with a very British twist". 'The Friday Night Club' was released across all platforms on the 25th of March 2022 on the Absolute label. Anna was one of Black Deer Festival's emerging artists for 2023 and went through to the finals to play the Pilton stage at Glastonbury. Her new album, 'Good for Roses' was recorded with Anna's band at Real World studios, the home of Peter Gabriel. Produced by Kris Wilkinson Hughes, it is to be released on the Absolute label on April 18th 2025. It is a collection of songs about searching for the beauty in the everyday, the light in the dark, the roses in the dirt. Anna Howie and her band will be supported by My Girl The River. This is a #freeentry #artforall event. Donate to performers on the night.
