Anna La Mare

Anna La Mare plays The LBJ Wildflower Center on Tuesday, September 29, as part of the Tuesday Twilights series. It's a local Austin singer-songwriter, and this stop is part of her Earnest, Wayfaring, Folk Noir tour.

Around town, she's known as "the bittersweet songstress of Austin," and she calls her own sound "folk noir"—haunting folk Americana with Celtic, Appalachian, and jazz influences. It's the kind of music that's been described as "emotional honey," "folky Florence and the Machine," "gothic Joan Baez," and a "soul-driven embodiment of Joni Mitchell." She sings the stories she's picked up on her travels, so the songs pull from the road as much as from home. If you're familiar with those names, you've got a good idea of where she sits: folk at its more atmospheric, moody end, with a voice that carries the weight of the lyrics.

The show is part of Tuesday Twilights, a series that runs every Tuesday at the Wildflower Center from September 22 through November 10. The format pairs live music from local musicians with a rotating lineup of Austin's favorite food trucks and take-and-walk adult beverages, so you can grab a drink and a bite while you listen. It's a low-key way to spend a Tuesday evening outdoors in the city.

Anna La Mare's name is pronounced Lah MAH-ray. The performance is on Tuesday, September 29, at The LBJ Wildflower Center.
