Description

Annie Rosen, lead vocalist, grew up on the south side of Milwaukee, coming of age in the 1960s and ‘70s. She heard traditional blues guitar playing and singing, and formed a trio that performed jug band, vaudevillian blues and old-timey music. Today, Rosen is recognized as a premier interpreter of the great female blues and jazz artists of the 1920s through ‘40s including Bessie Smith, Sippie Wallace, Billie Holiday, Rosetta Tharpe, and Ella Fitzgerald. She is backed by bandmates Peter Davis, (guitar, banjo, clarinet, piano, vocal), Jonny Rosen, (guitar, vocal) and Don Young, (bass, guitar, vocal). Drummer Jerry Marotta is the newest member of the group. He has played with Orleans, Peter Gabriel, Hall and Oates, Paul McCartney and Sarah McLachlan. Music critics have colorfully described how “Annie and the Hedonists transport us back to an age when heartache, boozing, and all sorts of romantic mayhem seems like one big stylish adventure.” Another reviewer complimented that “If you want energy, joy, a wealth of talent, a way to be in touch with almost every part of American music… and the spirit of love and generosity to go with that, then Annie and the Hedonists are most definitely who you want to experience.” Tickets for Annie & The Hedonists Live at Unity Hall are $15 in advance through Eventbrite now and will be available locally at Adirondack Cheese Company on Rt. 12 in Barneveld starting at 10am on Friday, September 30th.  Day of concert tickets, if available, will be $15 for members and $20 for non-members and will go on sale at the Unity Hall box office on Friday, December 9th at 7:15pm.
