We had a really great show at the Cave in Chapel Hill this past Thursday!! A ton of people came out, which was such a great feeling and a ton of fun. Plus, I got to share the stage with Amber Dutton (from D.C.), Darien Crossley (from Asheville), and some incredibly generous and talented friends of mine who played with me during my set: John Mooney on guitar/harp, Sabina Barton on keys/vocals, and Jerry Moxley on mandolin. Here are some photos from the show, provided courtesy of the lovely ladies at SideYard Studios. (I apologize for not having video – I even brought my FlipCam with me, but in the excitement right before we went on, I totally forgot about it.)

My Kickstarter project has launched!

I am using Kickstarter to raise money to record my first album! Visit my Kickstarter site by clicking here. Or, see who has already donated by clicking here.

Anna Rose Beck hits The Road.

This past weekend I left the comforts of North Carolina for my first ever out-of-town show, in Washington, D.C. I opened for Amber Dutton, a singer/songwriter in D.C. who’ll be returning the favor and opening for me at The Cave this Thursday. The venue was really cool – a place called BloomBars, which describes itself as a non-profit arts incubator, performance space, art gallery, theater, and center for civic engagement. Contrary to what its moniker would have you believe, it is not actually a bar; rather, just a stage with a nice sound system and a space for an audience to gather for an intimate performance. I had a great time at the show and hanging out in D.C. for the rest of the night afterwards. A good friend of mine from Duke made the trip with me and we were hosted by some very fun friends of hers in Columbia Heights. You can watch a video of my performance here.

I had my second photo shoot with Side Yard Studios a few weekends ago on the coast of North Carolina. Here are a few of my favorite photos, and many thanks to Leigh for having a great vision for the shoot.
