Annemarie Russell isn’t your run-of-the-mill singer-songwriter. Independent, truthful, and fiercely optimistic about what’s possible, her unapologetic songwriting leaves listeners inspired, challenged, and hopeful.

Her latest release, 100 Reasons, pushes Russell over the edge into solid Indie Americana: a fusion of folk, pop, rock and jazz. Add Russell’s rich alto voice and soulful lyrics, and it’s clear that she intends to leave her mark on American music.

This album is distinctly bi-coast...
