Celebrating International Women's Day by introducing some of my favorite ladies in music. Next up is singer, songwriter, guitarist Anna Johnson. Anna received a college scholarship from the band Queen for her songwriting, and just a few days ago was one of the final 5 contestants in the 4th Annual Guitar Center Singer-Songwriter's Contest.

International Songwriting Competition FINALIST!

Hi everybody!

I've been super duper horrible at keeping people updated about the most exciting of music things. I think it's due to the fact that I'm very preoccupied with pregnancy and painting my entire house. Heh. Whatever the case, I have exciting, exciting news that's LONG overdue for my friends here on Tumblr.

I am a FINALIST in the International Songwriting Competition's Music Video category! The ISC begins each season with more than 20,000 entrants in all categories, and not long ago I found out I was one of 65 (or 45?) semi-finalists. Anyway, now there are only 16 of us in the music video category, and it's a HUGE honor! I mean.... WOW!

Well, today is the last day for you to cast your vote for the People's Voice portion of the competition. Winning the People's Voice would be secondary to/separate from the ultimate winner and runners-up, but it's equally amazing in that, well, it could mean a great deal of exposure, marketing, promotion and notoriety.

Like I said, today is the LAST day to vote, but please take a moment to follow these simple instructions and help me out in the competition:

Go to http://www.facebook.com/InternationalSongwritingCompetition

Like the page, if necessary

Click the "CLICK HERE TO VOTE" button under the header photo

Click the picture that comes up on the next page

Enter your email address

Scroll approximately 75% of the way down to "Anna Johnson - Damaged and Bruised"

Select my video/me

Scroll down to the very bottom of the page to officially cast your vote

You can vote with multiple email addresses, so please do! It's quick and easy, but could very possibly make a world of difference for me!

Thanks SO much for your time, and I'll keep you posted about the competition as it progresses!

Have a wonderful Easter evening!

Love,

 ~Anna Johnson

23 Days until "Christmastime"!

After so much work and many beautiful sessions with the band at McPherson Studios here in Nashville, I'm excited to announce that my Christmas EP, "Christmastime" will be released on iTunes and through my website on Tuesday, November 13th, 2012! 

I'm VERY excited for you to hear the album, and I'm just so proud of the way it turned out! The record consists of the following tunes in Anna Johnson Band style:

- Angels We Have Heard On High / Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (a medley)

- What Child Is This?

- Christmastime (an original)

- Silent Night (featuring David's classical guitar and some cello and violin magic)

- Gloria (an original)

- Cradle In Bethlehem (a custom 4-part a cappella rendition)

- I Wonder As I Wander / Can You Imagine (a traditional song with an original chorus to spruce it up a little bit)

- Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Beginning the 13th, there will also be 25 limited edition "Christmastime With The Anna Johnson Band" t-shirts available at http://www.annajohnsonmusic.com/store. Check 'em out:

Clearly that's not a very good picture, but it gives you an idea for now ; ) I'm waiting for them to arrive now! 

Well, I'm just THRILLED to release the album, and I sure appreciate your support and help in promoting the record! Please purchase your copy as soon as you can so you can enjoy the record as you prepare for the holiday season! I will HAND-SIGN and PERSONALIZE every single copy sold through my website, but shipping takes quite awhile as you get closer to Christmas itself. Make sure you order quickly!

Thank you so much for your support, and I look forward to signing CDs for you ; )
