Gretchen Anderson

Gretchen Anderson was born to people with music flowing from their hearts. Starting on piano and expanding to banjo, guitar, mandolin, and fiddle, Gretchen was singing as the third generation in family gatherings.

Now, years later her musical styles have grown far beyond those roots to reflect the sounds of Patty Larkin, David Wilcox, Rory Block, Gayla Drake Paul, and of course her own.

Gretchen's originals stand on powerful guitar performances with thought provoking and insightful lyrics. Hinging on contemporary folk and blues, her performance finds appeal with a wide audience range. Gretchen is booking house concerts, coffee houses, festivals, and colleges. L.A. Suess can open for her with comparable material or offer backup on availability.

Press | Song List

“Gretchen Anderson is an original. Her music and her stage persona snap with attitude and grit, without the pointless anger that hobbles many of today’s ‘edgy’ performers. Through her music and performances, Gretchen offers the listener a glimpse through a wonderfully quirky lens that looks at the world with an affectionately critical eye and a bemused sense of what we’re all going through here on the third stone from the sun. Comparisons to Patty Larkin will be inevitable, but Gretchen has her own voice, and it’s a strong, wise one. Give her a listen, she deserves your attention.” Eric Garrison, coordinator Contemporary Folk Week at the Swannanoa Gathering, producer/engineer and owner of China Moon Productions recording studio.
