Ana Egge to perform at Open Book Coffeehouse
Singer/songwriter Ana Egge opens season at Open Book Coffeehouse in Canton
The Open Book Coffeehouse continues its tenth consecutive season of
showcasing live, acoustic music on Saturday, September 20 at 7:30 PM,
with folk singer/songwriter Ana Egge.
Egge brings her deeply personal and heartfelt songs to the Open Book
Coffeehouse. Singer
Steve Earle says of this performer, “Ana Egge’s songs are low
and lonesome...
which she plays on a guitar she built with her own two hands and
sings like she’s telling us her deepest, darkest secrets.’’ The
coffee house is located at the Canton Public Library, 786 Washington
Street, Canton. Doors open at 6:45 PM. Admission is $10 general
admission and $5 for students of any age.
Born to hippie parents, Egge spent her first five formative musical years
in Austin, Texas, first inspired by the Silver City visits of noted
bass player Sarah Brown, the aunt of one of Egge’s friends. “I’d
hear stories of Sarah playing bass with Bonnie Raitt and Antone’s
Blues Band, so when she would come to visit I’d pick her brain
about everything,” Egge recalls. “After a second visit, Austin
became this mythical place, and I could not just wait to go there.
As much as she enjoys performing, Egge, who builds her own guitars, says
her greatest joy is hearing other artists like Dave Alvin and U.S.
folkies Laurie Lewis and Slaid Cleaves cover her songs.
