ANNA VOGELZANG TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM CANARY IN A COAL MINE
OUT FEBRUARY 28TH 2012 ON PAPER ANCHOR MUSIC
UNVEILS FIRST SINGLE “DIE TRYING” ON AMERICAN SONGWRITER
CURRENTLY WRAPPING UP FALL TOUR
Anna Vogelzang is proud to announce the release of Canary In A Coal Mine. The new album from the Madison, WI based musician will be released on February 28th 2012 via Paper Anchor Music. Vogelzang is currently wrapping up an extensive forty-date fall tour that took flight in late September and wraps up November 12th in Bloomington, IN. Remaining tour dates below.
In recording Canary In A Coal Mine, Vogelzang enlisted the help of a wide cast of professional players including Franz Nicolay on accordion (former Hold Steady), Brian Viglione on drums (Dresden Dolls), Todd Sickafoose on upright bass (Righteous Babe/Ani DiFranco) and Emily Hope Price on cello (Pearl & the Beard). In the studio she teamed with producer James Frazee (Blondie, Betty LaVette) to create a shimmering and fully crafted folk pop landscape accented with flowing strings, plucky banjos, and Vogelzang’s warm and inviting full-throated vocals filling and floating above the spaces in between.
“Die Trying” – Listen/Download at American Songwriter
A Boston area native, Anna Vogelzang recently transplanted herself to the mid-west, landing in Madison, WI where she’s embraced the local music community, even taking a teaching role as an instructor in the Madison area Girls Rock Camp. The past few years have seen her on the road, self-booking tours with a determined approach that has landed her on the same stage as Mirah, Franz Nicolay, Wye Oak, Amanda Palmer, Kyp Malone (TV On The Radio), Nat Baldwin (Dirty Projectors) and many others. At times she has lent her own talent to other musicians, notably as a touring vocalist with The Dresden Dolls.
Upcoming Tour Dates:

10 – Champaign, IL – SoDo Theatre
11 – Indianapolis, IN – House Party
12 – Bloomington, IN – The Bishop Bar

“The Wisconsin troubadour has a penchant for playfulness when it comes to her music; however, when she gets serious, few craft a better folk song.”

ANNA VOGELZANG ANNOUNCES APRIL TOUR DATES
NEW ALBUM CANARY IN A COAL MINE OUT NOW
Anna Vogelzang is thrilled to announce a string of new tour dates in support of her recently released full-length album Canary In A Coal Mine (Paper Anchor Records). A fully crafted folk-pop album complete with poetic ballads, plucky banjos, shimmering strings and Vogelzang’s warm yet commanding voice, Canary In A Coal Mine has been met with warm reviews since its release this past February.
Wading in with a 9 out of 10 review, Pop Matters praised the “the exquisite lyrical craftsmanship on Canary in a Coal Mine,” which “is matched by Vogelzang’s incredible vocal range, evoking everyone from Regina Spektor to Ani DiFranco, shifting between delicate lilt and evocative howl at will.” Performer Magazine, describes the album as “varied and jubilant,” showcasing a “voice that can knock down a listener, clashing from a sweet, nearly conversational tone into a confident country-girl howl.”
Listen/Download/Share – “One & Only” – “Die Trying”
Since Canary In A Coal Mine’s release, Vogelzang has tirelessly toured the U.S, making appearances at this year’s South By Southwest Festival and the International Folk Alliance Conference. Canary In A Coal Mine was recorded with producer James Frazee (Blondie, Betty Lavette) and features the talents of a wide cast of professional players, including Franz Nicolay on accordion (former Hold Steady), Brian Viglione on drums (Dresden Dolls), Todd Sickafoose on upright bass (Righteous Babe/Ani DiFranco) and Emily Hope Price on cello (Pearl & the Beard).
