The group’s wide-ranging live shows span roughly 100 years of the American songbook. They smoothly transition from 1920s jazz-age classics to Delta blues, Western swing, gospel, and socially conscious folk or contemporary Americana. Their performances are often praised for uncovering hidden gems, featuring witty “double entendre” songs, and paying homage to under-appreciated artists of early American music.
The band’s polished and soulful sound is created by a lineup of seasoned musicians:
Annie Rosen (Lead Vocals): Channels the emotive power and soul of early-20th-century female blues and jazz legends like Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald. Jonny Rosen (Guitar and Vocals): Provides the rhythmic backbone and acts as a founding core of the band’s repertoire. Peter Davis (Clarinet, Tenor Guitar, Piano, Banjo): Brings incredible multi-instrumental versatility to their diverse arrangements. Don Young (Upright Bass and Vocals): Anchors the rhythm and frequently steps in for soulful lead vocals. Jerry Marotta (Drums/Percussion): A renowned veteran drummer (formerly of Peter Gabriel and the Indigo Girls) who adds deep, dynamic grooves to the band’s live sound.
Whether they are reviving forgotten jazz-age gems, sharing witty “double entendre” classics, or weaving contemporary folk melodies, Annie & the Hedonists treat audiences to an “intoxicating listen” wrapped in warmth, deep grooves, and stellar musicianship. Join us for an unforgettable night of toe-tapping rhythms, soulful storytelling, and musical celebration with the award-winning Annie & the Hedonists!
