Annahstasia (USA)
Annahstasia arrives in Australia for the first time this February, bringing her soulful, poetic, and deeply intimate songcraft to stages across the country. A singular voice in contemporary folk, she has carved her own path through patience, independence, and a devotion to storytelling – qualities that shape her acclaimed debut album ‘Tether’.
‘Tether’ is a record built slowly and intentionally, recorded live at Valentine Studios in Los Angeles with a community of collaborators including Jason Lader, Andrew Lappin, Aaron Liao, Obongjayar, and aja monet. Across its sweeping arrangements and bare, vulnerable moments, Annahstasia’s voice sits at the centre: rich, resonant, and unguarded. Her songs navigate love in all its forms – the love we find, lose, resist, and rebuild – approached with the nuance of poetry and a quiet, assured power.
It marks her long-awaited introduction to Australian stages, and a rare opportunity to witness an artist whose work feels both intimate and expansive.
Onstage, Annahstasia performs with the same instinct and openness that shaped ‘Tether’. Her sets move between stillness and swelling emotion, carried by a voice that can shift from gentle warmth to something breathtakingly commanding. Each performance becomes its own moment – lived, shared, and fleeting.
