Mixing of the album is almost complete and we arelooking at a January 2014 release date. The album reunites the band from her critically acclaimed 'Roll' album and allows Anne to explore some of her favourite influences, including Billy Holiday, Charlie Christian, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King, Nick Drake, Astor Piazzola, Peggy Lee, Bessie Smith...

Alternative Country icon Lucinda Williams has said of McCue: “Initially, her stunning voice hooked me in. Then I got inside the songs. The first chance I got, I went to see her perform . . . I was floored!"

Born in Sydney and raised just southwest in Campbelltown, McCue has toured the world playing her music in concert halls, pubs and festivals. She has most recently been based in East Nashville, a thriving songwriting community on the Cumberland River's left bank.

Her love of music forged in Sydney, Melbourne and Ho Chi MinhCity, McCue landed in America and performed on the Lilith Fair tour. After setting up shop in Los Angeles, she became a vital part of the city’s rootsmusic scene and has since recorded 5 acclaimed studio albums and a DVD ‘Live InNashville.’

Her music is included in Time Life’s ‘4 Decades Of Folk Rock’ alongside Bob Dylan, The Byrds, etc. and in Starbucks Artist Choice alongside Leonard Cohen, John Coltraine etc.

McCue has also produced other artists including Audrey Auld, Tracey Bunn and currently, Emma Swift.

Expect great guitarwork, compelling songs, and an eclectic set list.

"Mynew favorite artist and an amazing guitarist" -- Lucinda Williams

"Highlightingsongs from her latest, Koala Motel, she used every guitar in the battery shebrought on stage, from the National steel to the Danelectro 12-string to thelap steel, and each allowed her the freedom to explore a different type ofroots music, including swampy Creedence stomp, ethereal blues, and countrifiedjangle. These days, there are very fewwomen working the same territory as McCue who can combine tough and vulnerable.That she does it with poise and a self-deprecating sense of humor makes her anartist worth seeing again." --Jim Caligiuri, Austin Chronicle
