There's A Reward Anna Fisher with Third World There's A Reward Anna Fisher with Third World
This album was nominated for a Grammy as Reggae Album of the Year. Blessed to have been asked by Third World to record Joe's song with my favorite foundation Reggae group! You'll love the sound of my oboe with these world famous voices delivering
Break The Silence - Stop The Violence Break The Silence - Stop The Violence
Anna's original composition brings light to a painfully disturbing subject wreaking havoc in our households today. From her own experience, she wanted to give back to those who still suffer today encouraging them to reach out and seek help.
Song For My Father Song For My Father
Anna's smooth double reed stylings over Jawge's soulful keyboard arrangements of Horace Silver's classic jazz hit make this track outstanding! Guitar solos by Dale Hauskins lend a caribbean flare to this powerful track.

Irie Greetings Massive,
Anna Fisher here hailing you up from the Golden State, specifically Los Angeles. I'll be blunt, you need to take a listen to a cool sound that we're getting on an oboe and and English horn rubbing against the luscious keyboard stylings of, Jawge Hughes. When I first started taking lessons, the usual knee jerk response was, "What's an oboe?" although the savvy few with some degree of musical education would respond, "Gorgeous instrument the oboe, but it's one of the hardest instruments to play! What made you choose oboe?" and I usually respond, "Yes, hard, but I love the sound sooooooo much!" Listen to any classical symphony or opera and tell me the oboist's melodies aren't the most beautiful, well at least equally as gorgeous as the English horn or French horn's mournful and triumphant solos. But an orchestra is like any team and every member is interdependent. No one instrument is more or less important than another except for those who carry the most important solos and nail them flawlessly night after night! This comes with years of practice and commitment. Please listen closely, this music has lots of fresh ideas you're sure to appreciate. We felt it was time for something new that we weren't hearing out there and made a commitment to create this lifesong. So here we are and here's our sound. Please sign the message board with your ideas and if you think your friends will like it,
pass it on.
Please help us change the world,
one heart at a time,
right now!
Thank you very much,
Peace, One Love and Light,
Anna FisherBand/artist history
Ana and Jawge began rehearsing for the road in October 2004. However, they've collaborated ever since they met each other at Joe Higgs New Years Eve Show in 1998 at Leimert Park in Los Angeles. While discussing where Jawge was from on St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Anna explained that she had been the Elementary Music Teacher for St. John Public Schools for 10 years and actually taught his cousins (Richards Family of St. John) for many years. As we start naming names we realized we knew so many of the same people and vowed to return one day. Many of his fondest memories from youth contained visits to St. John for family gatherings and summer vacations away from the urban environment of the housing development he returned home to each night. We unreservedly present you our dream for balance in the world hoping that this music will build those dreams of youth into clearer focus. We both had heard, "Do what you love and the money will follow!" To which we all thought was a beautiful standard to live by. We love it, it was a labor of love from beginning to end.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, and wanting to do more! Love it, love it, love it! Visit my website to see my busy tour schedule! Lately, I've opened for United Nations Prize of Peace Recipient, Ivory Coast Reggae Megastar, Alpha Blondy three times, Third World Band (thrice plus recorded) , danced onstage with Beres, Marcia Griffiths, and Maxi Priest. Performed Exodus at The Roxy in a grand finale to mark Bob's presence at the only club Bob Marley and The Wailers played in Los Angeles with the legendary Aston "Familyman" Barrett and The Wailers themselves. I've sung back-up and opened for Frankie Paul on four shows. I've performed oboe onstage with Rankin' Joe, Winston Hussey and Simple Simon. Toured with Joe Higgs and the Fully Fullwood Band. Spent three years working hand in hand with David Townsend (Surface) and his legendary dad, Ed to inspire rehabilitation in one's life direction. Jazz and Blues Vocal Megastar, Barbara Morrison has invited me to sit in close to 20 times now!

An extraordinary seductive instrumental beautifully rendered. The sax work is simply outstanding...the tone...the energy is sweet and strong at the same time...Great melody lines, smooth transitions and I love the tube bells and of course the keyboard work...Really fine playing here...
