About the event
Born in Los Angeles to a singer/songwriter and a jazz drummer, Portland native Anandi ended up in Nova Scotia where she studied vocal jazz performance at St. Francis Xavier University. After a stint working at Rounder Records in Boston and singing her original songs around Boston and New York City she moved back to Portland after bearing ‘live’ witness to the 9/11 attacks in downtown New York City.
After releasing three independent albums of original songs, she returned to jazz, singing classic standards inspired by the likes of Sarah Vaughn, Nancy Wilson, and Carmen McCrae, becoming a well-respected jazz singer and singing at venues like the legendary Jimmy Mack’s, the 1905, the Jack London Revue and the PDX Jazz Festival.
