Anna Howie is a London-born singer-songwriter celebrated for her heartfelt storytelling and unique blend of Americana with a British twist. With a career spanning over two decades, Anna initially worked as a session singer and backing vocalist, performing across Europe and collaborating with renowned artists like Brian May. Her transition to solo artistry began with her debut EP, An Idiot's Guide to Love, recorded in Nashville and produced by Grammy-winning Bob Britt. The EP quickly climbed to number 5 on the UK Country charts, showcasing Anna's ability to craft songs that resonate deeply with themes of love, loss, and human triumph.
In 2022, Anna released her debut full-length album, The Friday Night Club, inspired by a live Facebook stream she hosted during lockdown. Produced by Lukas Drinkwater, the record’s 11 self‑penned tracks captured the loneliness, humour, and resilience of that period. With the sessions amassing nearly two million views, the project became a lifeline for fans around the world. Critics praised the album’s warmth and melodic depth, drawing comparisons to Rosanne Cash and Joni Mitchell.
Anna’s 2025 album, "Good for Roses", marked a defining moment in her artistic evolution. Recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios and produced by Kris Wilkinson Hughes, the album delves into life‑shaping experiences with honesty, vulnerability, and a renewed sense of creative confidence. Featuring collaborations with an array of acclaimed musicians and guest vocalists, *Good for Roses* has been celebrated for its emotional clarity and richly textured sound.
Now in 2026, Anna continues to tour widely across the UK, bringing her evocative songs and endearing stage presence to audiences old and new. With her storytelling sharper than ever and her profile steadily rising, she remains a compelling voice in the UK Americana scene—an artist whose music comforts, connects, and lingers long after the last note.
