Master of a wealth of diverse styles and blessed with a rare talent for improvisation, Anne Lindsay brings all of her skill into fine focus on the 14 powerful tracks of her new CD, News From Up the Street.
 
He Shoots, He Scores was composed in the stands of the Air Canada Centre in Toronto while Anne fiddled the Toronto Maple Leafs to one of their occasional victories. The Twisty Tune Set would sit comfortably in a Shelburne Fiddle contest in some parallel and slightly bent universe. There are echoes of Afro-pop, and elusive wisps of Finlandia inspired by Anne’s stint in the pit of the Lord of the Rings stage show.
 
What sets News From Up the Street apart from her first CD is the addition of Anne’s heart-catching vocals. There’s a touch of retro jazz in Gershwin’s The Man I Love, a nod to the folk-jazz of Dan Hicks with the title track News From Up the Street, a rolling version of Ken William’s evocative Wichita Fog – but the gem of the album may well be the first of Anne’s lyrics to be captured on disc, Once I Was in Stockholm.
 
This magical song takes its melody from Andrew Downing’s tune Stockholm, and Anne’s exquisite lyric transports the listener across oceans into the heart of a yearning young lover. The violin has often been compared with the human voice; Anne’s voice certainly shares with her violin an ability to capture every nuance of emotion.
 
News From Up the Street marks a major step forward in Anne Lindsay’s remarkable career. After the release, it will be available through Festival Distribution and Maple Music, but for now you can purchase advance copies by cheque ($20) from Violindsay Music Inc.

Hi,
Remember last fall’s release party for News From Up the Street, at Toronto’s Lula Lounge? Well, right after that I headed off across the country with Jim Cuddy’s band. Since that tour ended I’ve been touring southern Ontario with Jason Fowler, promoting my new CD. Every road leads home, and on March 3rd I’ll be at the Rivoli in Toronto with Jason.

It’s a more intimate show than the release party, and it’s a great opportunity to hear the interplay of Jason’s guitar with my fiddle. We have a lot of fun on these duo gigs, and I think that you’d really enjoy the show.

Following my early evening show, I’ll take on a new role as hip-hop fiddler, joining my son Tosh as his Two Left brings their energetic and passion-filled Hip Hop to Rhythmicru and ICM’s Heads Connect series at The Rivoli (doors at 10pm). And Tosh will be collaborating with Jason and I on our show.

On another front, you may recall that in 2006, I was nominated for VIOLINIST OF THE YEAR at the National Jazz Awards, and guess what – it’s happened again. If you’d like to vote for me, hie yourself off to the electronic polling station.  However, please note that you must answer ALL questions in order for your vote to count; i.e., select "None of the above" in order to skip any question.  If any category is missing a vote - then your ENTIRE vote does not count.

For those of you who are interested, here is the direct link: http://www.nationaljazzawards.com/phpQJr/poll.php?pid=2

If I win this year, I’m going to invite you all to a picnic on Toronto Island, just to celebrate.

Thanks again for all your support,

Anne

Dar, have you got Anne's new CD? Unlike Eavesdropping that was all instrumental, Anne sings on several songs on News From Up The Street. She has a very pretty voice!

Yes I have it Sammie. I'm so glad you have one too. Her voice is so soft, very easy to listen too. Her CD is fantastic!!

"How the best things are won with sacrifice"

I love Anne's new CD! And, my little ones just adore the fiddle music and we dance away the morning to it! In fact, we have managed to incorporate it into our galloping around on our hobby horse's/child size brooms! Oh what fun we have! Yeppers, we all love it!

I voted Voted for Anne, plus Diana Krall for other categories

It's a shame that they spelled her name incorrectly  

GOOD luck Anne

       Just a  reminder everyone!!

"How the best things are won with sacrifice"

News From Up The Street

Anne Lindsay- New Year News

                     A rare blue sky day in Toronto – the winter has been a touch on the dreary side – and though it’s nowhere near as frigid as the Prairies this week even the natural ice rinks in our city are frozen solid. It’s tempting to lace up the skates, but there are strings to be bowed and lots of new tunes percolating through the fingers. Jason Fowler and I had so much fun with our duo shows last year that we’ve booked a bunch of shows in Ontario over the next few weeks:

               Sunday, February 10, 8pm - OTTAWA – at the new GCTC Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre, 1233 Wellington St W (at Holland). Jason and I are being presented by the Ottawa Folk Festival as part of the Acoustic Waves concert series. I’ve heard great things about this theatre as a music venue and we’re really looking forward to playing there. Jason and I are giving up restraint for Lent, so this show will be hot. Tickets are $25 at the GCTC box office, 613-236-5196
                http://www.gctc.ca
                
                Saturday, February 16 – WOODSTOCK – Stonecroft House Concert. Tickets are $20; call 519-423-6797
http://www.stonecroftfolk.ca

                Sunday, February 17, 4pm – LONDON – Jazz Vespers at St. James Westminster Church, 115 Askin St.
 
                Monday, February 18, 8pm – TORONTO – Olifiddle #2 at Hugh’s Room, 2261 Dundas St W. This is a follow-up to last year’s spectacular series of shows celebrating the work of the marvellous Oliver Schroer. We have a stellar line-up of performers over two nights; check out the Hugh’s Room web site for details on who’s playing when.
http://www.hughsroom.com

                Tuesday, February 19, 8 pm – TORONTO – Olifiddle #2 at Hugh’s Room, second show – just as great as the Monday show.
 
                Saturday, March 1, 8pm – INNISFIL – Innisfil Lion’s Hall. For those of you a little north of the big city. http://www.petersplayers.com
               
                Sunday, March 2, 7:30pm – TORONTO – Flying Cloud Folk Club at the Tranzac club (Brunswick Ave just south of Bloor). This is a local show – I mean, this is my local pub – just through my back yard and down the alley. The Tranzac is home to some of the best music in Toronto these days and we’re delighted to be back in the back room with the Mariposa concert series. Come on down and make the Tranzac rock. http://www.flyingcloudfolk.ca

                The summer is starting to fill up with festivals, but we’ll talk about that another day. Get out in the sun as the days lengthen, soak up some vitamins and then come and say Hi at one of our shows.
 
                Cheers,
                Anne

I play the guitar and mandolin too but my major is Fiddle and I would love to play as good as her! (But my teacher says, for starting last year, and a quite mean player. I've already played with family bands) Ah.. fun memories
