Salwa Azar

Finally it's suddenly your turn, everything going on auto-pilot, you plug your instrument in, do a brief soundcheck to set levels, and then you take a deep breath... You start singing, you concentrate on making the songs as atmospheric and story-telling-like as possible and not some droney sound taht you usually do, you feel the atmosphere shift in the audience, then you start to get into the song, you feel like you're riding an invisible wave of energy... suddenly everyone goes quiet...

Anni Piper

Any list of awesome Aussies should include Anni Piper. An outstanding bassist in her own right, she's an authentic roots blues rocker that possesses a voice to die for. It has even been touted that an appropriate compliment would be that she sounds 100% American! Anni remembers with clarity the first time she heard the blues back in her school days. “It was Paul Butterfield Blues Band playing ‘Born in Chicago’ - I knew straight away that this was the direction I was heading.” she says.
