Anna Coogan: Press

"Based on her powerful pipes and the catch in her throat, she could just as easily pass for a native of Nashville..."
- The Seattle Stranger
"Coogan's voice brings to mind the sweet but striking approach of Kelly Willis and Iris Dement."-
- No Depression Magazine
"Coogan's voice-well honed, sharpened tool that it is-slaloms between cues from Rosanne Cash and Alison Krauss, taking fuel from the formers grit and the latter's sweet soul....rises above the throng of local folksingers in Seattles alt-country scene."-
- Seattle Sound Magazine
"Sweet and clear voiced with a stunning range, Coogan sweeps through the dusty romanticism of her songs, using a variety of folk genres to clear a path"
- Willamette Week (Sep 4, 2004)
“Her voice swoops and soars as she wraps herself around each lyric. Each melody is laced with dug-down deep poetry.”
- Portland Oregonian
"Coogan lets loose a paralyzing and smooth voice. Her range is unmatched and her songs are sweet natured illusions of loneliness, redemption and romanticism of old fashioned Americana."
- Afertaste Magazine (Aug 4, 2004)
"Coogan's voice slides from note to note without ever slipping. "
- Seattle PI
"She piles on sugar whenever she opens her mouth and sings. Hers is a honey-butter voice, touched by twang, drenched in sunshine."
Joe Nickell - The Missoulian (Nov 16, 2006)
"Anna Coogan has a lovely voice with some affecting breaks that she uses to wring plenty of emotion out of the bands well-crafted songs."
Don Yates - KEXP.org (Jan 26, 2005)
"Coogan's folk-country vocals a la Emmy Lou have a lot of charm"
- nwsource.com (Jan 18, 2008)
"Coogan sings exactly what needs to be sung, exactly why it needs to be sung, and she can do everything that needs to be done. Every note is heart wrenching."
Tom Peterson - Victory Review (Jan 26, 2005)
"Anna has one of those wonderful voices that can sing in several styles and convince you that she was born to do it. The songs are solid and the musicianship is first rate... One of the freshest things in a while for sure."
