Whether you choose to call it Americana, Country, Singer-Songwriter or Roots Music Annette's music is best described as real music, about real people sung from the heart.Band/artist history
Folk collides with Country with Annette Neumanns first fully produced song, Worlds Collide. Colt Records has signed the seasoned songwriter and theres excitement to be felt from both ends of the deal. I thank my lucky stars that Colt Records contacted me about a possible recording contract. I feel like my music has finally found a home and a label that would work with me to help get it out there to the people, says the Kentucky native.
Neumann was born in Trenton Michigan and spent her early years living in Wyandotte, Michigan. Growing up, music was a big thing for me. Everybody in the house had their favorites: Mom listened to Motown, Dad listened to country and my brother jammed out to White Snake. So variety was not a problem! (Laughs)
When she was 10 years old, Annettes parents decided to move to Kentucky. It was there in their new house that Annette had found her calling while watching a country music show on T.V. I remember I was sitting on the floor watching a re-run of HeeHaw with my dad, cause thats the only clear station we could get at the moment and I saw Kathy Mattea in a white dress with a big white guitar and she was singing Eighteen Wheels and A Dozen Roses. I looked at my dad and told him I wanted to do that. I wanted to play the guitar. So they bought me my first guitar for my 11th birthday.
Through out middle school and high school, Neumann studied many acoustic artists and eventually she discovered folk/roots artists of many kinds. I remembered thinking to myself, She recalled, that there was country and then theres this great under ground music that sounded like country but more simple. The way it use to sound. I really loved that acoustic sound.
When you listen to her music, you can hear the fusion of so many different styles that drive her style: from country, folk to blues and southern rock. I try not to limit myself to a handful of subjects when I write and I never try to figure out how its going to sound. A song just comes to me and it comes to me in which ever way I hear it. Im not much on structure or Outlines. Songs are organic in nature and if you try to box them in or trim them up or label them, they start to loose their effect on people. The way the people feel about the song is way more important then how a song looks on paper.
So after the release of her first song, Worlds Collide, whats next? Well were going to see how far Worlds Collide goes and from there were hoping for a video release of another song I wrote called, Wish I Knew You and after that Ill probably be back in the studio working on Longer Stretch Of Highway. All in all I cant wait to see where this all goes. Ive never had the chance to take my music this far and I have a good feeling everything is going to take off like a bullet and Im going to be hanging on for dear life somewhere in the back.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes
