Anne started her singing
career at the tender age of three, serenading her South Boston
neighbors with a stirring rendition of ‘I’ve Been Working On The
Railroad’ over and over and over again. As the middle child (and only
girl) of five children, she grew up in a household, which was as
musical as it was noisy. With three brothers playing the trombone, one
on clarinet and one mom playing the organ, it was quite an eclectic
mix of sound!
Her love of music was influenced by her mother Jean, an organist for
over 40 years and her mother (Nan), a very talented
semi-professional singer in her own right.
As Jean’s favorite music is the Big Band sound, so is the daughter’s.
”I love the luscious arrangements and smooth vocals of the big band
era, especially those ladies! As a child, her family would sing in the
car with mother and daughter harmonizing.” I think we must have passed
Vicki & her family somewhere along the road!”
Anne’s musical experience includes musical theatre productions in the
local community as well as several years of summer stock in the New
York area. In addition, she was a long time member of the award
winning a cappella group, Harmonytryx (New Jersey), performing as
both singer and vocal percussionist. She can be heard on their CD
recordings entitled Harmonytryx and Fine Whine.
But she is most proud to be singing diva-licious melodies with the
fine ladies of Purely Vocals. “It’s been inspiring to direct this
group of women, who had never performed a cappella, and to watch their
transformation over the past four years has been so rewarding. Not
only musically, but in the friendships that we’ve formed with each
other.”
Anne lives with a menagerie of animals and two wonderful parents,
Jean & Coley.
