Manager: Self-managed

Bio: Annie Wells lives in a house surrounded by trees at the foot of Pinnacle Hill in Rochester, New York.

“Annie’s newest CD, released in 7/2009. 'Tell Me' CD is compilation of heartfelt stories… she does it so beautifully. "It's important when you're playing music and when you're writing music that it's coming from your heart." Perhaps Wells' finest moment is "Little Sparrow," a tribute to the waifish French chanteuse, Edith Piaf. ”

— Jeff Spevak, Gannett

“[Her] piano accompaniment complements perfectly her reflective lyrics and expressive singing. She’s got a warm breathy delivery and she’s able to move easily from full deep notes to delicate ethereal highs. Her voice is amazing.” ”

— Chuck Cuminale, City Newspaper

“SAD AND BEAUTIFUL “On each of twelve songs, Annie Wells finds a new way to surprise her listeners. … Wells messes around with a piano with the same idiosyncratic confidence that [Bruce] Hornsby displays, and goes boldly beyond him in other ways, challenging the listeners to rethink the definition of a pop song.” ”

— H.B. Ward, City Newspaper

“SLEEPY TOWN “A collection of lullabies for all ages: Wells delivers 11 blissfully sleepy vignettes full of innocence and genuine sweetness as seen through the eyes of her nieces and nephews”. ”

— Frank De Blase', City Newspaper

“SOMETHING TO DREAM ABOUT “This time around, Wells goes for a bigger band driven sound that creates a point/counterpoint between vocals and music. This effort allows both to weave and blend beautifully”. ”

— Scott Gudell, Freetime Magazine
