IDOW preview:: Ana Egge

IDOW is getting closer, and we’ve been slow on talking about some of the acts that will be in town for the show. One of the most pleasant surprises is the appearance of Ana Egge. You may not know it, but you’ve probably heard Ana’s honey coated vocals countless times and swooned along accordingly. She’s worked with Ron Sexsmith and according to our sources (Joel), she and Rose Cousins sing harmonies for a fair amount of the tracks on the new Joel Plaskett record.

Her originals are lovely and from the few tracks I’ve heard on her upcoming record, Road to My Love – including collaboration with Frenzy Ford and Trish Klein of the Be Good Tanyas, I am thinking it’s going to be an album that grows on you with each listen. Her voice, obviously, is beautiful but the tracks are soulful and when the horns and whistle kick in on New Tattoo, you just have to smile.

Ana will be playing two shows, the first a quick songwriter circle on Wednesday, 28th @ The Bus Stop Theatre and then a longer set on the 29th, opening up for Halifax’s own Christina Martin.
