Anne has performed at Festivals and clubs in Europe and North America, on countless theatre stages, at barn dances, fairs, in hospitals, churches, community centres, at gatherings large and gatherings small. Sometimes she is alone, sometimes with an accompanist, sometimes she leads a band (currently, Fiddlesong), sometimes she is merely a member of a band. She sings old Canadian songs in English, French, Gaelic, and occasionally in Yiddish, Macedonian, Ojibwe or Ga (a langauge of West Africa). She has pioneered her own special brand of singing and playing fiddle simultaneously. She fiddles–Irish, Scottish, French-Canadian, Metis Klezmer, Bulgarian, a little jazz, a little rock n. roll. Sometimes she accompanies on piano or long-necked mandolin, bones, jaw harp and feet (a little step-dancing, a little jigging, lots of sit-down clogging). And she does special shows for kids. Just follow the links. . .
