bandprofile anniebecker It's hard to believe Annie is from the West coast of Canada and not from the basement of a late 30s jazz club... Becker has been cloaking her audiences in a Gyp-sea of sultry soundscapes across Canada, New York, and Thailand for the past 5 years. In 2011 Annie Released her first album, ‘All About the Beez Neez,” and in 2013 was awarded, Vancouver Island Vocalist of the Year. For the past 2 summers Annie has toured all across BC. Playing such Festivals as the Big Time Out, the Sunshine Music Fest, Art Wells and Edge of the World Fest. Whether you see Annie Becker in a packed club, intimate coffeehouse, animated music festival, or bustling street corner, those who come across this jazz queen wrapped in a folk dress wearing souled shoes will no doubt walk away with a smile on their face and a melody in their head.
