Annie Sellick may be compared to the greats – “Ella’s playfulness, Carmen’s attitude, Betty’s instincts and Anita’s flair…” (Greg Lee, WMOT jazz radio). But, she is unequivocally and undeniably an original.Don’t let her southern drawl, as sweet as biscuits n’ honey, cause you to make assumptions, because there is nothing shy or demure about Ms. Sellick’s control – of the stage, the music, her sound, and her audience.
It’s quite obvious she is totally at home as a live performer, immediately engaging her audiences with an innate ability to make everyone in the room feel like she is performing just for them. But these special gifts aside, it’s Annie’s pure talent as a musician that is earning her rave reviews and a growing fan base around the world.
Annie lives in Nashville, Tennessee; however, she is quick to tell you “growing up in ‘Music City’ I hated country music.”But Nashville is home base for some of the finest musicians in the world playing every genre of music.”I have had the opportunity to play with a very talented pool of Nashville-based jazz players, and it has been a great place to cut my teeth and learn. These days I am learning from Nashville musicians of all styles. There is such a high level of musicianship here, and the support of the community is unparalleled.”
“She has gone far in the international jazz world since her days of working (Nashville) venues. As her fan base grew, she widened her field, appearing throughout the United States as well as in Germany, Japan and beyond. Performances and recordings with luminaries such as Jeff Hamilton, Joey De Francesco, Gerald Clayton Mark O’Connor and Eddie Higgins have attracted fans and critics, who take note of her strong feel for swing, her flair for improvisation, her pure but expressive tonality and phrasing, her broad range (covering all points from big bands through Parisian swing to bossa-nova sung in Portuguese) and compelling personality onstage – a mix of playfulness, warmth, and an ability to bond instantly with audiences” – Nashville Arts Magazine, Bob Doershuk
