DAVENPORT, IOWA (March 27, 2023) — Anne E DeChant will perform at Common Chord, home of The Redstone Room (129 Main Street), on April 7, 8PM, as part of “Songs and Stories with David G Smith, Anne E DeChant, and James Turley.”
Anne E DeChant is first and last a storyteller, an artist who writes with the shit-kicker urgency and sweet understanding of the people who stumble and keep on keeping on. A Nashville recording artist originally from Avon Lake, Ohio, she is a five-time winner of Cleveland's Singer-Songwriter of the Year, and a 2020 Kerrville Folk Festival Songwriting Competition Finalist.
DeChant has performed with Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, Don Henry, Travis Meadows, and was the selected local artist at Lilith Fair (Cleveland 1999). She has delivered stand-out shows in storied venues ranging from the Bluebird Café, The Bitter End, The Evening Muse, The Alabama Country Music Hall of Fame, to The Clinton White House.
DeChant's unmistakable voice perfectly expresses her songwriter's perception, beginning from her days as the dynamic lead singer of Cleveland fan favorite, Odd Girl Out. With nine studio album releases to her credit, her masterfully-crafted, poignant songs move the listener from one world to another with mesmerizing effect. She released her first “best of” record, Every Little Everything, in 2020, a fan-funded and Nashville produced by Mike Severs. Her 2017 fan-funded release, The Sun Coming In, climbed to N° 6 on the Roots Music Report’s national chart, and its first single, “Sunday Morning Drive,” to N° 1.
General admission tickets are $15, with additional fees applicable. Purchase online at Eventbrite.com. For more info on the event, link to tinyurl.com/56hj6yrj.
