Hey All,
For those of you who are visiting my blog for the first time, welcome!! From this point on I will be writing about my life as well as my music. I have been taking time to enjoy life lately and learn about nutrition, alternative medicine and other important issues which I will get into in future blogs.
For now, I would like to look back on what a wonderful year I had in 2009. Musically, I released my second album "Heart & Soul" where I tried my hand at alt country/country. My husband and I went on a radio tour across Canada where I did several live radio interviews. From that tour, two of my songs were played on Country radio stations across Canada. My song Addicted 2U brought me to #10 Canadian Country Female on the Trax Report. I also had the opporunity of opening for the Wilkinsons at the Sound of Music Festival in Burlington as well as Murray M. at the Oakville Waterfront festival. Along with my husband, we also performed our songs as part of the Nashville Songwriters Association, Tin Pan North. I had the opportunity of co-writing with two great Canadian songwriters, with Steve Fox I wrote "Gasoline" and with Larry Wayne Clark, I wrote "Anything For You" in Nashville (yet to be recorded). While in Nashville I met Vince Gill and saw him perform my FAVORITE song "What You Give Away". Finishing the year off, my album was nominated for Best Country Recording at the Hamilton Music Awards in December! Phew...In 2010 I was also featured on the CCMA page in the "On The Horizon" section.
It really was a great year! I have to say that as much as I love country music, I'm not sure that my writing style lends to "traditional" country. My style sits more in the "alt country" genre however some of my songs are more pop, some rock, some bluesy...I guess that's what being an independent artist is all about. I am still thinking over my next album and saving up money. If you like what you hear, please consider purchasing my EP on my official website www.anniemarleau.com to help fund my next album. Also, check out some of my old tunes from my first album "Alive" on my myspace page www.myspace.com/anniemarleau.
Until the next time, be safe, be kind and be true to YOU!
Love, peace and light,
Annie xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
