A stunning soprano tone has made Anne Hills one of contemporary folk music’s premier vocalists. The Chicago Tribune music critic wrote that Anne has “one of the most glorious voices in all of contemporary folk music.” In addition, her affinity for choosing unforgettable material and her knack for writing heartfelt original songs have brought her to the upper echelons of her craft. She has received awards and recognition for her live performances, her unique solo and collaborative recording projects such as her duet CD with Tom Paxton, “Under American Skies”, and her overall artistry. Anne is featured on two of the most talked about compilations in folk music, placing her voice alongside Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, The Roches, Ani DiFranco and Indigo Girls on “Where Have All the Flowers Gone? (The Songs of Pete Seeger)” and “What’s That I Hear? (The Songs of Phil Ochs).” Whether she is singing her own songs, songs written by other great songwriters or traditional folk songs, she puts her whole heart and soul into the moment. Her voice is often featured on XM/Sirius Folk Radio, The Midnight Special & many other folk shows. You won’t want to miss a chance to hear her songs and stories in person.

Anne Hills continues to perform in concerts and festivals, winning over audiences with her warm, lively and humorous performances. Legendary singer-songwriter Tom Paxton says, “Anne Hills is such an exquisite singer that it’s understandable that people might be swept up in the pure beauty of her voice and thereby overlook her writing. That would be a mistake. For me, Anne’s writing, in songs like ‘Follow That Road’ and many others, is as direct, melodic and deep as any work being done today. She is quite simply one of my absolute favorite songwriters”.
