I have no idea where she’s been hiding, but Anousheh Khalili is my new favorite singer/songwriter as well as the one who’s been eating up all my itunes time. She’s also just released an album on Richmond, Virginia’s Triple Stamp Records that’s been getting some great reviews:
You go to shows for certain bands, you see numerous others you have never heard of and sometimes it is hard to remember what this or that group actually sounded like. However, once in a while it actually happens that somebody walks up, plays a couple of songs and just blows you away. The last time this happened to me was with Anousheh Khalili who impressed me so much when i saw her play a couple of weeks ago that i had to pick up this cd instantly. And yep, it was worth it.

If you head over to her website and download some tracks you’ll know exactly what everyone is talking about. Oh, and there’s always the fact that a track that she worked on with the Deep Dish was recently nominated for the “best dance recording” grammy. So, all and all I’m a little mystified as to why I hadn’t heard a thing about her until now.
So in the future can you all please tell me about things like this? I’m counting on you out there.

OH YES.
Anousheh totally rocks. I was introduced to her two years ago by a friend who knew her when they were kids. Also got to see her play live in Durham, NC a year ago with a bunch of other cool peeeps (including the oh-so-amazing Martin Kerr (cdbaby.com/martinkerr).

I LOVE that I finally was able to suggest music to someone. Usually I am the last to hear of a band (seriously) and am about as musical as, oh, an umbelical cord. Woohoo.
So she’s on itunes now? Last time we checked (last week), she wasn’t on iTunes or Pandora - maybe our numerous searches served as a hint.

hehe, i know anousheh. i’ve known of anousheh for years. she used to perform at the DC congress all the time. I’m sure you know of sara solstice, kelsey bulkin, devon gundry, andy grammer (yes, red grammer’s son), bliss green, boston soul collective, and others, right? if not myspace gives a great introduction to such wonderful people and I would be glad to point you in the right direction.
