Anni Piper blends
deep, sexy vocals with a high-energy bass playing style (often
barefoot), making for a thoroughly enjoyable live experience.
On the recording end, Piper won "Best Blues Album" at the 2013 Canberra Roots & Blues Awards in Australia for her collaborative effort with Nicole Hart on the critically-lauded Split Second (Blues Leaf Records). Piper was also nominated in the "Female Vocalist Of The Year" category for the 2014 Australian Blues Music Awards.

ANNI PIPER - SOME BACKGROUND
Piper first started playing electric guitar at age twelve, but switched
to bass at age fourteen. In 2004 Anni released an album entitled
"Jailbait" in her native Australia, for which she won "Best New Talent"
at the 2005 Australian Blues Music Awards. Subsequent album releases
include 2007's "Texas Hold 'Em," 2010's "Chasin' Tail" (released by
Blues Leaf), and her newest, 2013's "Split Second." Blues Leaf also
released "Two's Company," a compilation from her two Australian
releases. Throughout her burgeoning career, Piper's charismatic stage
presence and sultry vocals have garnered her both great reviews and
multiple music industry awards nominations.
