ANNA HILLBURG Once described as the love child of Christie McVie and Herb Alpert, singer-songwriter and trumpeter Anna Hillburg has spent several years making music in the Bay Area. In addition to her own work she has contributed to acts such as Shannon and The Clams, The Dodos, The Moore Brothers, Will Sprott, Dream Date, Greg Ashley, Shannon Shaw and her All Star Buddy Band, and more. Hillburg has released three solo albums, self titled (2013), “Really Real” (2018), and most recently Tired Girls (2023) on Speakeasy Studios SF. The songs of Tired Girls were conceived during the pandemic, while Hillburg found inspiration and a boost of confidence in the face of uncertainty. Hillburg enlisted producer Jason Quever (Papercuts, Beach House, Dean Wareham) along with her all star band featuring members of The Dodos and Chime School to create a rich Chamber Pop album that sonically meshes flawlessly with the feminist themes.

What’s taken root and blooming in Al Harper’s latest album, The Analemma Observation League, deeply knows how to invite new and old fans to linger, smile with eyes closed, and then line dance our way through reflection on these past, pivotal years of individual and collective metamorphoses. Like an heirloom Central Valley bush sunflower, native to Al’s hometown of Bakersfield, California, the seeds of A.O.L. were cultivated over many mighty seasons of heat, movement, and seeking the sun.
