VIRTUAL TIP BUCKET
Anker is a solo acoustic rock act in the live setting. In the studio, he creates full-band music that spreads across labels from Americana to Modern Rock. In order to get both right, he rehearses regularly for his 2 biggest critics - rescued pitties Harrison & Karmella. Their canine instincts always point to a great song.
Anker has been an opening act for Vinny Martell (Vanilla Fudge), Richard Barone (The Bongos) & also opened a "Words & Music" evening with Darryl McDaniels (RUN-D.M.C.). Anker has what it takes to entertain a diverse audience & be a fine representation of indie-charm.
Anker owns the room in small town bars where he can let lose with a band's energy & a Rated R repertoire. At wineries & restaurants, he knows how to keep it family friendly with tasteful volume while town festivals or private hire shows get a mix of it all.
