Who is Anne Harris?

Anne Harris is a singer/songwriter, violinist, recording artist and actor based in Chicago, Illinois. She has independently produced and released four studio albums on her record label, Rugged Road Records: Anne Harris, Open Your Doors, Wine and Poetry and Gravity and Faith. A live album, Live at the Acorn Theater, was also released in 2008. Her music has been described by various writers as incorporating a variety of influences, including traditional Celtic music, American folk-rock, Afrobeat, soul, and chamber music. For lack of a specific genre label, her work has been dubbed "conscious music" which refers to music and lyrics that have some basis in a spiritual, humanist philosophy.

Harris grew up in Yellow Springs, Ohio, home of Antioch College, and the earthy, liberal and progressive environment of her hometown remains an influence in her songwriting to this day. She began studying classical violin at the age of eight and eventually attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where she earned a degree from the School of Music. After college, Harris moved to Chicago and worked as an actor in theater and commercials for a few years before returning to music around 1997.
