Anne Harris
Chicago-based fiddle player and singer-songwriter Anne Harris has been crafting her unique sound for well over a decade, producing five indie studio records and playing countless performances in the US and abroad. Her collaborations, live and in-studio, span a large and diverse group of artists, including Otis Taylor, Shemkia Copland, Los Lobos, Living Colour, Cracker, Guy Davis, Walter Trout, Anders Osborne and occasional stints with hippie legends Jefferson Starship.

“Once you have witnessed Anne Harris play the violin, you aren’t likely to forget the experience any time soon… She inhabits the music, or maybe the music inhabits her, but it is impossible not to be drawn under her spell.”
- BluesWax

Markus James
Singer-songwriter Markus James recorded 5 critically-acclaimed albums of original Blues-based music with traditional musicians in Mali, West Africa and the award-winning documentary film about this collaboration, Timbuktoubab, was broadcast on many PBS TV stations around the US.

"’Nightbird’ is one of the deepest listening experiences that will hit the US market this year." – Billboard

After performing in Mississippi, Markus began collaborating with several old-school drummers in North Mississippi's hill country and his latest album, Head for the Hills, featuring drummers Calvin Jackson and Kinney Kimbrough, received rave reviews and led to performances on Elwood's House of Blues Radio Hour, Montreal International Jazz Festival and Telluride Blues Festival, among others.

"’Head for the Hills’ is undoubtedly one of the finest releases of recent years, both within the genre and beyond" - Blues Matters (UK)

In the fall of 2015 Markus, with drummer Marlon Green, supported guitar icon, Joe Satriani, on a European theater tour. James’ instrumental track, On a Mississippi Porch, appears in the 2017 Oprah Winfrey film, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.


Anne’s new single ‘Over’ was written for her by Markus James, with whom she began collaborating with a few years ago. The collaboration of these two visionary Blues/American Roots artists has an intriguing sound that while rooted in acoustic blues, folk, and old time traditions, reaches far beyond to encompass their unique view of what happens when those early influences mingle without boundaries in a postmodern world of cultural cross pollination.

Lyrics: Verse 1 In this world I am so Far away from where I belong But in my my sleep I am returning But it’s so far, and it takes so long Chorus Over, over I’m comin' over Maybe someday I’m gonna get over Verse 2 Take my hand and lead my body For you know where tomorrow lives Far from this place of pain and sorrow Where memory and time forgive Chorus
