British Country/Americana singer-songwriter Anna Howie releases her debut album ‘The Friday Night Club’ on 25 March 2022 through Absolute Label Services. The album features 11 original songs, some were penned in (and about) time spent in Nashville, others were inspired by family and friends, or based on the strange and lonely time of lockdown. These songs muse on the nature of life and love. The first tracks from the album will be released on 28 January 2022. ‘Angels Among Us’ is about finding inspiration in the actions of good people during the pandemic. By contrast, ‘Peas’ is about the experience of being hit on by a much younger man, the title coming from her husband wryly pointing out that there were things in their freezer older than the ambitious individual concerned! Shot through with her trademark flair for a turn of phrase and leavened with humour, in the Country tradition, will this track be the one that brings her to a wider audience? All we are saying is give ‘Peas’ a chance! Though the album was already planned, ‘The Friday Night Club’ itself was born in lockdown. Anna initially used the online sessions as a way of keeping on playing, but also have an audience to try out her new material on. As a performer who relishes that connection that comes only from playing in a room to a live audience, Anna was initially reluctant. The feedback kept her going however, and she ended up doing 28 sessions in a row. Those shows eventually garnered nearly two million views! As Anna says herself, she accidentally created a community.
