Anne Weiss and Woody Moran with Julio Appling on bass.
Anne Weiss is a vocalizing treasure. Shes a songwriter, blues belter, folk singer, gospel wailer, multi-instrumentalist, with an enormous, soulful voice...an unusual cross between Janice Joplin and Joni Mitchell, with some Aretha thrown in for good measure. --Portland S.E. Examiner
In a city like Portland that is filled with outstanding musicians of numerous genres, Anne Weiss stands tall when it comes to talent and songwriting. Her original blues are a standout. A tremendous vocalist, she is also a multi-instrumentalist who may take on a song behind a guitar, blues ukulele or piano at any given moment. And she is more than exceptional at all.-- Cascade Blues Association
