Doors open at 6:30 PM. Music begins at 7 PM
Anne Hills is one of the most beloved performers in the contemporary folk music scene, receiving awards and recognition for her live performances, her unique solo and collaborative recording projects, and her overall artistry and benefit work. Her song “Follow That Road” was the title cut of the Martha’s Vineyard Songwriter Retreat and has been a certified folk classic since the late 1990s. Whether she is singing her own songs, the words of six-year-old Opal Whiteley, or her song settings of the Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley; accompanied with her guitar or simply a Tibetan bell, she puts her whole heart and soul into the moment.
You won’t want to miss a chance to hear her songs and stories in person. She tours extensively, winning over audiences with her warm, lively and humorous performances. Her knack for writing heartfelt songs [has] brought her to the upper echelon of her craft.
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’, is as direct, melodic and deep as any work being done today. She is quite simply one of my absolute favorite songwriters.”
Anne was born in Moradabad, India, the third daughter of educational missionaries. Raised in Michigan, she attended Interlochen Arts Academy where she formed her first folk trio.
In 1976, she moved to Chicago's fertile folk scene and co-founded the folklore center Hogeye Music, still a force in the Chicago music scene. Anne resides in Bethlehem, PA with husband,
Mark Moss editor of Sing Out! Magazine.
She is currently working on recording the songs of Michael Smith.
