Star Anna, was born and raised in Ellensburg, Washington. Star Anna is a mix of rock and Americana. She walks the line between dark and light. Comparable to Lucinda Williams, Neko Case, Brandi Carlile, Tom Petty.

Star speaks about her influences: "The one and only, biggest music hero influence for me is Tom Petty w/ and w/o The Heartbreakers, also Chris Isaak, Roy Orbison, Iggy Pop, Velvet Underground, Cat Power, Alternative Country, Neko Case, Beck, Radiohead, Oh Suzanna, Mark Dillingham, Otis Redding, Elliot Smith, Jesse Sykes, Indigo Girls, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, The Pretenders, Mark Pickerel, and my aunt Liz, for teaching me the first songs I ever learned, Free Falling and The Cure's Just Like Heaven. She's newly influenced by the likes of Vicci Martinez and Brandi Carlile for their amazing stage presence and raw, honest passion."

"All in all, this may be the best debut album of 2008, and yes, I do know it's only March." - Americana UK

"One of the finest debut releases it has been my pleasure to hear" - Twang Nation

Mark Pickerel: "Star Anna is the new queen of torch and twang. She's a musical soul-mate for those late and lonely nights, a voice so intoxicating that it might just eliminate any real desire to find a true love."

Star Anna has an innate ability to find comfort in a place of discomfort where pain and heartache are their only friend. Like the lonely call of a wolf on a winters night, her voice is haunting, stirring, yet strangely familiar.
