Anne Richmond Boston at Eddie's Attic

From the venue:

Anne Richmond Boston live at Eddie's Attic!

Anne was born in Louisville, Kentucky. As a youngster, she was a member of the church choir and took violin and ballet lessons. Her father was transferred to Winter Haven, Florida, for one year (where violin, ballet, and church stopped) and then moved the family to Atlanta, Georgia.

She was accepted into the high school chorus and was chosen to sing in a special regional chorus performing Leonard Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms." Vocal harmonies were something she came to naturally. Performing "Going to the Chapel" with a band in the high school talent show was her first experience of being onstage behind a mic. She really dug it.

It was about this time that the music of Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Sandy Denny, Linda Ronstadt, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Melba Montgomery, Aretha Franklin, Judy Collins, and The Supremes took up residence in her being. She became friends with local Atlanta phenoms Thermos Greenwood (original rock band) and was invited along with a chorus of people to sing on the song "Chocolate City" for their album Pinhead Teddy.
