Anna Fritz – cellist / folksinger – Live in Concert

Tue, March 13, 2018, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Cello-wielding activist folksinger Anna Fritz, on tour from Portland, Oregon, performs at The Arlene Francis Center at 7:00pm (doors at 6:30). There is a suggested donation at the door of $8 – $20 with no one turned away. Beer and wine will be available for purchase.
Anna Fritz plays songs that crack you open and heal you. She creates a musical alchemy of cello and voice, strumming the cello like a guitar and playing beautiful melodies with the bow as she sings. Her songs boldly dig into themes of colonization, climate change, racial justice, gender, spirituality, and connection to the natural world. Like the great folksingers of previous generations, Anna is a catalyst for people to sing together. Her songs are infectious and easy to learn, imbued with a sense of timelessness as if they’ve been sung for generations. Her disarming, gentle nature and powerful presence gets unlikely crowds of people singing together from town halls to night clubs.

Listeners will find plenty of rockstar cred in this folksinger’s past. Anna Fritz is a sought after cellist with a 15 year tenure spanning the world of classical music and Portland, Oregon’s indie rock scene. She toured nationally with Portland Cello Project for seven years and can be heard on albums from My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, The Decemberists, case/lang/veirs, and the most recent release from First Aid Kit. As a solo artist, Anna Fritz has independently released three albums and performed for audiences in more than 50 venues in seven states.
