   About Anu
The long awaited self released albums, "Plan Be" (Acoustic/Vocal EP) and "LIFE IN THE MAKING" (LP) are available to purchase for $7.00/CD at all upcoming shows or by ordering from below. For more about Plan Be and LIFE IN THE MAKING view my blog.

LIFE IN THE MAKING (LP)
Plan Be (EP)

Anu emerged onto the music scene under the mentorship of Grammy winning producer Johnathan Hadnott and received instant recognition for talents as a producer/music composer with local Hip-Hop acts in the North Chicago suburbs. Six years later, Anu picked up the acoustic guitar and discovered a unique sound that he continued to develop as he played gigs. After returning from his first solo tour across the U.S., Anu called together a dynamic band that helped re-grow his fan-base in the Lake County area. Anu writes songs with music veteran, Roger Bonds (who’s worked with bands including Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, Tom Petty, L.L. Cool J and Run DMC just to name a few) and looks forward to bringing a fresh breath of songs and showmanship to the Chicago-land area this coming year.

Anu brings a cutting edge, eclectic sound that sends a positive vibe to the human soul. No matter how many rotations of his CD or continuous Internet plays, nothing can capture the sensation of seeing Anu live. From Portland, Oregon to New York City, Anu has given the fans a taste of the future.

This Saturday (May 5th), Chicagoland parents have an opportunity to not only catch some of the area�s best family entertainment, but have the experience preserved for the ages as well. Little Nashville, the Chicago-based country act known for producing music that rocks kids and grown-ups alike, starts work on their first-ever concert DVD Saturday, May 5 at 10:30 a.m. at Open Bible Academy in Belvidere, IL. (Arrive early; doors close promptly for the taping at 11 a.m.)

Cameras will be scanning the crowd to capture audience reaction, so come prepared to be an instant movie star. If you can�t make it to the show, don�t despair � the band is also calling for photos of fans wearing their best Little Nashville or country-western fashions for inclusion on the DVD.

Join Sherriff Jay Hawke and Miss Laura Lee Goodheart and their critter pals Scarlett the horse and Rawhide the dog as they film a live concert performance that�s destined to become one of the most played entries in many a family DVD library. Attendance is free and open to all ages.
