Lili Anel June 19, 2010

CONCERT - $16 Advance/$20 Door, 8:00 pm

“pure dynamite...her songwriting is consistently excellent...ofttimes Joni Mitchell sharp...and her sharp wide-ranging but unswervingly thoughtful performances do her songs full justice”
-JazzTimes

“A performer to watch [for]….a velvet voiced, vocal powerhouse whose earthy, jazz-laced tunes stretch the boundaries of traditional "singer-songwriter" turf.”
-Philadelphia Inquirer

“Singer-songwriter of Afro-Cuban heritage whose notoriety is spreading well beyond the Big Apple. Añel's deep but supple voice echoes Joni Mitchell's sweet-and-sad-as-honeytears voice on Blue, but Añel's lyrics are life-affirming and hopeful.”.
-Rhapsody Online

The now-Philadelphia based singer/songwriter, draws varied comparisons - from the Beatles to Joni Mitchell to Steely Dan. Strange combination, no? Surprisingly, these influences and more are easily audible in her diverse and original repertoire. This Beatles-inspired artist's forward and wide-open vocals are refreshing, while the melodic hooks of her fearless songs never cease to amaze.

For years Lili Añel, has electrified audiences in the United States and Canada with her powerhouse vocals, charisma, songwriting skills and natural ability to command the stage. Appearing with Lili at PSALM will be Kurm on bass and vocals and James Armstrong on Percussion.
