When Amazon Bookstore Cooperative completed a historic transition into the 21st century, it seemed appropriate to recognize a musical artist who has entertained us with her creative songwriting, memorable music and intelligent humor. Ann Reed was recognized in 1990 as Minnesota Artist of the Year and in 1997 as Folksinger of the Year by the Minnesota Music Academy. We at Amazon would like to recognize her as our Musical Artist of the Decade (1990-2000). |
Commitment to community is an Ann Reed priority. She and her manager, Lin Bick, have set aside at least 25% of her touring schedule to do benefits for community organizations. She provided her talents for Amazon Bookstore's 25th anniversary concert; she has raised funds for domestic abuse shelters, AIDS research, the National Breast Cancer coalition. Her most recent community project has been providing entertainment for a variety of Girl Scout events, including the 85th anniversary of the Girl Scouts held in Washington D.C. where she sang for 75,000 scouts!
Ann Reed is a self-made artist who has worked very hard to make a living in a tough and competitive world, and at the same time has found the energy to continually give back to her community. We especially appreciate the support she has given to us over the years...and we love her music. Here is the complete listing of her music and related gift items available from Amazon Bookstore Cooperative. If you have not heard her music, we encourage you to take a chance.
New from Ann Reed in 2002
Ann Reed
Gift of Age, $16.95.
I frankly don't know how Ann Reed continues to write tunes immediately likable. Ann's gift of age is reflected not only in her steady maturing as an artist but also in her ability to capture the simplest of life activities, such as greeting someone and crafting the essence of that moment into a lovely tribute to the joy and power of human connection. Highly recommended to those who love her music and to those folks not yet familiar with her musicianship and artful songwriting ability. It is an enjoyable, lovely album to give to anyone regardless of age!
