Tomorrow's Gate by Anne Weiss

"Portland powerhouse Anne Weiss, with her vocal flights suggesting a cross between Aretha Franklin and Joni Mitchell, bluesy acoustic chops hinting that Bonnie Raitt was a frequent visitor to the house, & poetic lyrics that

likewise transcend generic limitations, is like three singer-songwriters in one. _Jeff Rosenburg, Willamette Weekly, Portland, Oregon

"Anne Weiss is a human dynamo. There is nobody I would rather hear, whether live or on CD. She is a tiny bundle of energy, incredible vocal ability, and great songwriting. From authentic gospel to plaintive, quiet acoustic music

to the most timely topical songs, she truly rocks."

-Micah Solomon, President, Oasis Duplication

"Anne's been an inspiration to me ever since we met. She's funny, she's insightful, and the power of her performances brings people together in the best way".

-Dar Williams, singer/songwriter

"Great stuff."

-Gus Ziesing, New England Performer Magazine

"Her voice is rich and powerful, with the ability to really belt it out, and yet it can be quiet, soft and clear, too. A lot of passion and soul...her songwriting is what excites me the most, though. The way she can say so much with such beautiful simplicity is what makes these songs really stand out."

-Jeff Emery, KZSC Radio, Santa Cruz, CA.

Praise for Anne's Second CD, Crossing The Border:

"Anne's distinctive voice, guitar playing, songwriting, humor and overall stage presence far surpasses much of the 'major label' talent of the 90's.

Her new album, Crossing the Border, is a brilliant CD. I love the variety, arrangement, writing, singing, backup, and production. It just could not be better!".

-Mike Myer, KRVM Radio, Concert Producer, Eugene, OR.

"One of the freshest, most versatile voices I've heard...she ranges from folk to pop to swing to blues, all with a self-assured ease."

-Steve Bornstein, Mixx Magazine (Top 10 Picks, 1997)

Praise for Anne's Third CD, Braille (released 2003):

Braille, Anne Weiss' new CD, featuring Dar Williams, Vanida Gail, Phil Wiggins,

Bobby Torres, and others, is now in! The first reviews:

"The new CD is terrific!"

-Clytia Fuller, KZSC Santa Cruz

Anne Weiss has created an album that is so lush and beautifully produced...unforgettable melodies, gorgeous lyrics. Braille is pure Anne Weiss...all about life, life, life.

-Dar Williams, singer/songwriter

"With her new release, Braille, Anne Weiss is in full command

of all of her talents: poetic lyrics, tender melodies, tough guitar work, and magnificent voice.

Every style of music she touches on here -- folk, blues, gospel, even salsa-soul --

she makes effortlessly her own. What beautiful work!"

- Jeff Rosenberg, co-host, The Dharma Wheel, KBOO Community Radio, Portland, Oregon

"Anne Weiss has brought heart and soul back into folk music.

Her new release, Braille, is a great accomplishment."

-Mike Meyer, KRVM, Eugene, OR

Braille is just amazing. So unusual, to love every song on a CD, but I do;

this music is so perfectly alive.

-Kasey Jueds, Poet

"On her third independent release, Braille, Weiss stirs her bountiful talents and eclectic musical passions into a sumptuous musical stew. It's a meal rich with emotional and sensual nourishment from fiery acoustic blues guitar,

words flirty with the freedom and depth of the best poetry,and a vibrant voice, traversing easily from whispered intimacy to joyous gospel holler."

-Jeff Rosenberg, Willamette Week, Portland Oregon.
