Canadian singer songwriter Ann Vriend comes to Canberra for the first time and is gracing The Front with her lustrous melodies and heart felt songs.

“Vriend manages the rare feat of sounding at once comfortably familiar and intriguingly original… veering effortlessly between straight-ahead, quiet country, to soul-wrenching blues, to folk-inspired storytelling…. each a gem in its own right. Don’t miss her”-Toronto Star, 3.5/4 stars “Her voice is truly unique and her strengths as a pianist and lyricist means Vriend is the complete package. On a side note,Vriend is fantastic in concert”-A n E Vibe,
