Artist description Described by one TV journalist as "an up and coming Woman in Rock to watch", Tanya Anton's soulful voice is strong, passionate and knowing. With tunes that'll keep you hooked, this is good, all-American fun. Jangly guitar-driven rock & roll with a soul.Culled from the various landscapes she's lived in: from funk-filled Mpls - to the glam decadence of NYC - to the organic, rootsy rock of the KY hills - to the wide open expanse of the LA coastline, Tanya Anton's sound is as rich as the fertile soils that helped raise her. A thought-provoking storyteller, she spins her twisted tales of life experience into song.
