Anna Laube
Anna Laube (pronounced "Lau" like "how" and "be" like "to be or not to be") is an experienced housesitter, yoga student, aspiring surfer, and excellent driver, having just received her first speeding ticket in July 2008.
Her pan-genre (country/blues/Americana/indie) folk music comes straight from the heart and has been described as "Acoustic, atmospheric, wide open, and western. Dirt covered highways and the setting sun" (CDReviews.com).
Born in Iowa City, IA, Anna began taking piano lessons at the age of three. She took up saxophone, oboe and violin in secondary school, and after moving to Madison, WI, picked up the guitar at age 14.
Anna moved to California after college to pursue gainful employment but soon became restless and hit the road. She recorded her debut album, Outta My Head in Bay Area living rooms with Birger Olsen of Town Rill and Jason Quever of The Papercuts. Bass was played by Nick Moran, and the record was engineered, mixed and mastered by Mark Whitcomb and Jason Quever.
"Outta My Head" is critically acclaimed and continues to receive airplay in the US, Canada, and overseas (having been picked up by stations in the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, The Netherlands, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand ). The album is available directly from her record label, Gingko Records, at
