ANJA McCLOSKEY - TORNADO (BalconyTV)

  • 5 years ago
PRESENTED BY MICKEY

I am a half-German, half-American singer and accordionist based in Southampton, England. Ever since my grandpa started playing his accordion to me as a little child I have wanted to play it too. I just love the deep and full sounds and the little quirky noises the accordion makes and I don't know any other instrument that can be so versatile and expressive.

Having played in various bands (The Irrepressibles, Haunted Stereo, Moneytree) and worked with solo artists (Katy Carr, Jake Flowers, Helen McCookerybook, Ana Silvera), I decided to start my own project in 2010. The "Turn-Turn-Turn" EP was released on Sotones Records in September that year and in February 2011 we toured the work in the USA. Following numerous gigs throughout the UK and Europe, we are now pleased to release our debut album on Sotones Records on 3rd September 2012. Three singles (And Her Head, A Kiss and Italian Song) have already been released and a fourth one is to follow in August. :-)
