Anna Nalick in Concert
Singer-songwriter Anna Nalick grew up in Southern California admiring artists like Tori Amos and The Cranberries as much as she did authors, poets, and her own Broadway-performing grandparents. All of these inspirations would infuse her creative ambitions, and by high school, she was regularly writing songs, and even getting comfortable on stage singing in a Rush cover band. As soon as she got to college, with a Rainbow Brite cassette tape recorder in hand, her life would change dramatically.
She began recording demos on that cassette recorder, and ended up passing along a six-song tape to a friend who happened to get it into the hands of former Blind Melon members Christopher Thorn and Brad Smith and producer Eric Rosse. The team helped her re-record her songs, and within weeks she was signed to a major label. Nalick released her debut album, ‘Wreck of the Day,' in 2005, at just 20 years old. It hit No. 20 on the Billboard 200 with help from the poignant, sweeping single "Breathe (2 AM)," which itself peaked at No. 45 on the Hot 100 and No. 4 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and appeared on TV shows like ‘Grey's Anatomy,' ‘Charmed,' and ‘Smallville.'
After riding high on the success of her debut, Nalick revealed 2008's ‘Shine' EP, featuring the uplifting title track. She later broke ties with the label and finally went indie in 2011 for ‘Broken Doll & Odds & Ends.' After a much-needed break from the industry, she soon found her passion for music rekindled while in the throes of a divorce. She decided to head back out on tour for much of 2014, before taking time to work on her third album. With the help of contributions from her fans, Nalick released ‘At Now,' a gorgeous, mature set of minor-key breakup ballads and slinky pop confessions. This would lead her back on the road to share her deeply personal and powerful performances.
Great show - Anna Nalick is amazing and should have more shows in the So Cal region!!!!! The food and drinks were wonderful, the only problem I have with the venue is the fact that there isn't an ATM inside. Having to walk all over Paseo Colorado to find an ATM was not enjoyable.
Ms. Nalick is a very talented young singer. The show was amazing, and her vocal performance was great. I will definitely be seeing her perform the next time she is in town.
This was Anna's first local show in years - even more special because Anna is a native of the Pasadena area, with ties to Temple City, Arcadia, and Glendora. Many of Anna's family and friends were in attendance for a very intimate setting. Anna talked about all the things that inspired her songwriting, from her high school days to fame to going indie to a recent management setback. She did a great mix of her old and new numbers, cracked a few impromptu jokes, and engaged with the audience. She also made sure to say hello to fans after the show, as she usually does. I've followed Anna for a long time and I'm more impressed with her every time I catch up with her again. I'm proud to call her my local girl and a dear friend, and I am grateful for the memories. See you again soon, Anna!
Anna Nalick sang for an hour and forty-five minutes non stop. Her voice was amazing. She connected with the audience by telling the story behind each song. Can't wait to see her again.
So much fun to see Anna Nalick perform. She told lots of stories about growing up in the local area. Very honest stories about her current life as well. Her voice and music were amazing and a thrill for the audience. She included a very good mixture of current and older songs.
Anna was incredibly. Great voice, good songwriting and she put tremendous feeling into to it. She actually cried during some of the songs. I only knew a couple of her songs when I got there and she made me a fan. I will go see her again.
I would love it if you came to Los Angeles or performed at the beautiful Arcata,CA where the redwood forest is and where the beautiful ocean meets :D
ONE OF THESE DAYS WHEN SHE PLAYS IN NY. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER.AND MEET HER TOO. WE HAVE THE SAME NAME BECAUSE WE R RELATED BY GENERATIONS INBETWEEN. ANNA JUST HAPPENS TO BE MY 4 OR 5 COUSIN.
