Anne Eisendrath (Music and Lyrics, Arrangements) 

is an electronic music producer, songwriter and vocalist. A classically trained musician, Anne attended the University of Michigan, where she earned a degree in vocal performance and met her husband, Ian. Upon graduation, she spent a decade as a musical theatre performer and professional vocalist in Seattle. After the birth of her third child, Anne shifted her artistic focus from performing to songwriting and composition. She channels her obsession with electronica, her love of crafting beats, melodies, and vocals, and her deep passion for storytelling and poeticism into the music she creates. In addition to composing for musical theatre, she writes, records, produces, and performs her own brand of theatrical synth-pop as the artist “Anniee,” and is currently at work on her first LP. Creating this show has been the most fulfilling experience of her life and marriage—only surpassed by being mom to Lucy, Oscar and Charlie. Special thanks to them and to our parents, Kirk, Amy, Wendy and Bris who gave of themselves tremendously so we could give ourselves to the music. @anniee_music
