Anna Gutmanis

Anna Gutmanis, an award-winning Canadian songwriter, singer and keyboardist, entwines her brave, edgy lyrics with deep, blues-style vocals. In 2011, Anna and Juno-nominated producer Karen Kane brought together some of the Toronto area’s most talented musicians to record a new album of original material entitled Glimmer in The Dark (released January 2012). The two previously worked together on Anna’s single "I Am Who I Am", an anthemic celebration of queer identity, which won the Pride in The Arts "2009 Pride Song" Award. "I Am Who I Am" has also been played at local PFLAG events, at American LGBT rights rallies, and at international Pride events, such as Baltic Pride. Anna is a longstanding musician on the Canadian music scene. The single, "Then Came You", from her 1989 self-titled album, can still be heard on Canadian radio stations. This debut release received airplay in every Canadian province and territory, and further songs earned her a FACTOR grant for Canadian Talent on Record. Glimmer in The Dark is Anna’s strongest work to date. Look for an extensive radio campaign, now in the works, followed by an album launch party this coming spring.
