Annalisa Tornfelt was born and raised in Alaska, listening to classical music, Disney, and Chuck Mangione's song, “Children of Sanchez”. She played bluegrass for decades and recently discovered rock and when her bandmates ( Black Prairie) asked her to sing a cover of “The Song Remains the Same” at a New Years Eve party. “I asked Annalisa to play a few fiddle tunes with me, which soon flipped to her picking up a guitar and singing Hank Williams,” says her Black Prairie bandmate, Chris Funk. “It was simple, but it was stunning. It's those moments when she grabs the all too familiar guitar and sings a song that you realize your bandmate and friend has the unique gift and power to make the weight of the world lift for three minutes.” Annalisa released her solo album ‘The Number 8’ in March, 2015 on Woodphone Records.
