Anne Walsh

Anne Walsh was raised in Worcester, Massachusetts where a large Brazilian population dwells, and as a child her vivid imagination was initially captured by songs ranging from Broadway productions like The Sound Of Music, and singers like Ella Fitzgerald, to the distinctive jazz-pop stylings of Brazil '66. She studied music extensively, eventually earning a Master’s degree in music after moving West. Walsh performed in clubs, light operas and musicals, all of which helped shape her unique musical identity. She has performed at clubs and concert venues throughout California including The Carpenter Center, McKinney Theater, The Jazz Bakery, Spaghettini, and Spazio. Now residing in Long Beach, she’s on staff teaching at the American Musical & Dramatic Academy in Hollywood.

Jazz-adult pop vocalist will release a delightful collection of swoon-inducing, love-themed songs with Latin grooves. Anne Walsh releases Pretty World June 16th.

Perspective is everything. While presently some see the world as a chaotic mess, others glimpse wonder and beauty in abundance and the infinite possibilities created when rooted in love. As demonstrated on her debut jazz-adult pop album, Pretty World, vocalist Anne Walsh falls into the latter category.

The gorgeous collection of idyllic songs that thematically chronicle the complexities ...

Urban Network: “With her latest release, Pretty World, she (Walsh) has padded pure and barefoot into a spellbinding universe of impeccably selected songs from the realms of Brazilian-kissed jazz. The result is the most impressive contemporary approach to balancing compositions deserving of wider recognition with standards as has been rendered in many a velvet moon. Most outstanding are three originally instrumental songs that were lyricized by Joe DeRenzo…Each song is impeccably arranged…This is simply the most refreshing contemporary jazz vocal album of the year.”

Smooth Jazz Therapy: “…Anne Walsh has sublimely captured the concept of this planet of ours as a beautiful place to be. Her voice is as clear as a bell and as she joyously interprets a range of songs that span the decades; the entire collection is blessed with a luscious string section and picture perfect production from husband Thomas Zink…Walsh navigates this wonderful amalgam of buoyant Brazilian jazz grooves and poignant heart tugging ballads with total aplomb yet the fact that three memorable instrumentals have been given original lyrics, written specially for Walsh by Joe DeRenzo, simply adds to the creativity of this refreshing piece of work…Anne Walsh is on a fast-track to stardom.”
