The Annie Sellick Quartet

Perhaps Annie Sellick's best quality as a singer is her ability to make people happy. An unusually engaging performer, she has won a large, devoted following and earned rave reviews, winning numerous "Best Jazz Artist" awards in the Nashville Media. Her third CD, recorded live in L.A. and released in 2005 is as free-spirited and full of attitude as she is.

Annie Sellick's jazz journey began auspiciously when she sat in with guitarist Roland Gresham's group at a club near the college she attended. After her performance, the crowd rose to their feet cheering, and it was clear she had found her calling. "It shocked me, the response and I think it shocked Roland too. Maybe that's why the band kept me." After working with the trio for four years, she moved back to her hometown of Nashville and honed her skills at the Nashville Jazz Workshop. After just a few years in her hometown, she won a devoted following, became a mainstay at the major jazz venues, was profiled in every major Nashville paper, and gave a celebrated sold-out performance backed by the Nashville Symphony.
Her career in jazz has taken her through three recordings on her own label (one with renowned jazz organist Joey DeFrancesco), stardom in Nashville and regular appearances in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, and Montreal to sold-out audiences.
