Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash. Anna Mae's role models are the greats. You can hear that as soon as the Lucerne native starts singing and playing.
The vibrato in her voice is spot on, the rhythmic guitar is captivating. The 26-year-old has been making music all her life. Four years ago, she got serious and completed a singing diploma in London, where she played the city's pubs and bars night after night. With her acoustic guitar in her luggage, Anna Mae has already made stops at various Swiss festivals. For example at the International Country Music Festival Albisgüetli and the Open Air Gampel.
She also spent four years of her life in France. That's why it can also be a French chanson à la Edith Piaf. The musician's songs are varied and are indeed reminiscent of the greats. Nevertheless, they are always original Anna Mae. However, anyone who recognizes her stage name knows who the Lucerne native's greatest role model is: Tina Turner. The US rock star with a Swiss passport is actually called Anna Mae Bullock.
Taking the hard and steep road to a career in music is the young singer's declared goal. She wants to win the hearts of the audience. "I make music because I believe it's the best way to bring people back together." "Let It Roll", Anna Mae's debut EP, will be released this fall.
