Anne Harris

Chicagoland friends it's my show of the year!! Hope to see you Saturday, December 13 at 4pm.

@wnxpnashville.bsky.social thanks for the gift of @marquismunson.bsky.social - he had me at "Shake" by The Gap Band. #supportpublicradio

Here's a glimpse of #nokings in Chicago. Spent the day exercising our freedom of speech and right to peacefully protest w/a record-breaking number of like-minded America lovers, all hired to pose as potentially dangerous terrorist threats #Chicago #peacefulprotest

Chicago showed TF up peacefully in such a big, beautiful way in solidarity for our shared love of the promise, and potential of America. And I felt this small, but unwavering warmth that I can only describe as hope. #nokings #peacefulprotest #Chicago #hope

Made the cover of the new issue of Blues Blast Magazine! Feature interview by Mark Thompson, photo by Laura Carbone. Available online. Grateful for the opportunity to share my story. #bluesblastmagazine ##blackfiddler #covergirl

Gonna miss this exceptional human here. Dave Cygan was one of the biggest music lovers and supporters around, and his generosity is a gift for which I'm forever grateful. He had my back and believed in me from the start of our long friendship. My love, prayers, and deepest sympathy to his family. 💔🙏🏾

New single 'Time Has Made a Change' now out everywhere! I discovered this song by Harkins Freye several years ago and always wanted to hear a fiddle on it. #newmusic #newrelease #americanrootsmusic #folkmusic #fiddle

Together we rise. Make your plans. Be safe. There are many ways to make your voice heard if you cannot physically participate. There are more of us than them. #protest #participate #bethechange

Four years ago today at Geoff Wilbur's Music Blog, I reviewed singer-songwriter/violinist @anneharrismusic.bsky.social's engaging single "Over" (feat. Markus James). #MusicReview geoffwilburmusic.com/2021/04/07/a...

I sent an open letter to my alma mater U of M expressing my disgust and disappointment at their recent capitulation to fascism by rolling back all diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. This decision has a ripple effect far beyond your knee-jerk cowardice, and time will reveal this damage.

So cool! She's amazing 🙌🏾🎻

Playing a live concert with my trio Saturday 3/22, 8pm on WFMT Chicago. Tune in for an American Roots journey. I'll be playing my new historic violin 🎻 #livemusic #womenshistorymonth
