News
of a new young female blues artist on the scene is always welcome , if
not rare. Sure you hear about the likes of SUSAN TEDESCHI and ANA
POPOVIC in of the
blues media but if you ask ROCKWIRED, our money is on Australian blues
artist ANNI PIPER. That sultry voice and raw delivery has earned her
acclaim in both her native Australia and the States and
record deal with BLUES LEAF RECORDS. She first made her
presence known with her debut album JAILBAIT back in 2004
which earned her an AUSTRALIAN BLUES MUSIC AWARD for BEST NEW TALENT
and followed that triumphant debut up with TEXAS HOLD 'EM
(2007) TWO'S COMPANY (2009) and CHASIN' TAIL (2010). Now
PIPER shares the bill with American blues singer NICOLE HART on
the album SPLIT SECOND where both ladies showcase their considerable
musical chops.

BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."
