Mothers Day

Songwriter, singer and guitarist Ann Reed has been performing and creating community for more than 35 years with her rich, dark-chocolate voice, storytelling from the human experience, and songs that find a permanent place in the heart. Of course some of her songs and stories might end up closer to your funny bone – a little irreverence never hurt anyone. Her new song, Mothers Day, is a beautiful tribute to Julia Ward Howe's call to all mothers to lead the way to peace. Ann's velvety voice is surrounded by Laura Caviani's exquisite piano performance. Ann has toured North America coast to coast, doing concerts, clubs, festivals, and she's met wonderful fans and made friends all along the way. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Guitar geek alert: Ann is one of the few who accompanies herself on the 12-string guitar. Her 21st recording, Eventually, explores bicycles, birds, aging, and a nod to a justice of the United States Supreme Court. She is currently writing songs for her next CD. Ann Reed’s songs move me. I’m not easily moved, having heard a thousand or two songwriters, and her songs go to my heart. Some of them are completely perfect. Garrison Keillor
