Annie Singing with Welsh Band MAGENTA
In early 2006, Annie recorded a song that was specially written for her by Rob Reed and Christina Booth from the Welsh Progressive Band 'MAGENTA'. The song is truly beautiful and Christina joins Annie on the song.
This stemmed from Annie meeting and seeing the band perform 'live' at the 2005 Rosfest Festival in Phoenixville, PA.
The CD is in an interesting EP format with three different versions of the song (one with Annie and Christina sharing the lead vocals), plus an instrumental piece by Rob Reed that was inspired by the painting "Essence of Love" that Annie painted for the cover artwork. (Giclee prints will be available of the cover art).
Below is information from the record label.

More dates and venue information for tickets will follow soon.
Co-headlining the first three dates of “An Acoustic Evening” will be AL STEWART, an old friend of Annie’s with whom she has been successfully paired several times during her career.
Annie credits Sancious as the “catalyst” in re-igniting her interest in performing after seeing him accompany Francis Dunnery at a small acoustic club in Philadelphia. Sancious, who has played with the likes of Santana, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Seal, Natalie Merchant and Eric Clapton, had only performed with Annie one other time, when he was part of her band during a Christmas concert at a church in Bucks County, PA.
“I’m really excited to be working with David again,” says Annie. “I just love his energy – as a person as well as in his writing and performing. I was just drawn to him. These shows are very different for me, and I think each one will be a really nice, classy evening.”
Annie’s distinguished artistic career underwent an entirely new “Renaissance” over the past two years. She successfully embarked upon an exploration in oil painting as a ‘Dream Expressionist,’ with transcendental creations that individually explore and channel the subconscious. She has been hoping to marry painting with music since she first put brush to canvas.
Annie and Sancious already have begun to write songs based on her paintings, some of which will be performed on the acoustic tour. Plans are afoot for a live CD from the tour, followed by a studio CD with Sancious that encompasses more of Annie’s paintings. The tour will also feature Renaissance songs, Annie’s solo material and Sancious’ solo work.
“For now, this is all I’m interested in doing musically,” says Annie. “I’m doing it with David because it’s special.”
