Australian-born recording artist Anni Piper, known as the First Lady of the Blues in her homeland, returns with a new album. ‘Men Are Like Potato Chips’ is the seventh studio recording from Piper, who now resides in Portland, Oregon. 

She is not only a sultry vocalist but an accomplished bass player, insightful composer, and show-stopping performer. The nine songs that make up the recording are originals apart from John Prine’s ‘Angel from Montgomery’, featuring Tim Langford of Too Slim & The Taildraggers on guitar. Piper
made this album a family affair and is proud to feature her son, Flynn Piper, on backing vocals. Stylistically, it is a di- verse collection, ranging from traditional blues to face-melt-ing blues rock. Piper’s originals are thematically quirky, often humorous, and offer a bold, unique perspective on relation ships and intimacy.

Piper states unabashedly, “It’s been more than twenty years since I released my first album. Over time, I got so tired of hearing that I needed to be careful not to be ‘too sexy’, and finally I said ‘f**k that’. I’m a sensual person, and I’ve been doing this too long to not release art that authentically reflects my personality.”Piper’s debut album won Best New Talent at the Australian Blues Music Awards. She subsequently secured a deal with Blues Leaf Records in New Jersey. Piper decided to make her home in the USA, where she has performed at festivals and distinguished blues venues in over 40 states, breaking hearts and taking names everywhere she goes.

“Piper has the kind of voice that lulls men to their doom. It’s soft and sweet when it wants to be, scared and vulnerable a moment later, then ripping through you like a razor… Piper commands songs utterly.” - The Edmonton Sun, Canada “Anni Piper, fresh to the US from Australia, is a vixen, a vamp, a tease and every woman scorned....Thing is, what strikes me most about Anni Piper is her incredibly fun sense of humor, a trait that shows itself from beginning to end of her latest release…” - Wolfmann’s Music “A towering bass player and sultry vocalist that plays up her sex appeal, this Australian transplant mixes soul-spilling electric blues rock, raw Southern steeped hill country acous- tic blues, gritty hard rock, and jarring slow burners approach- ing it all like a seasoned torch singer that’s conscious of her instrument’s lack of limitations” – Charlotte Observer Tracklist 1.
