Anna SciontiBLUES JAM NIGHT

Feature act: ANNA SCIONTI

ANNA SCIONTI is a singer-songwriter, guitarist and bottleneck slide player making her own style of music steeped in blues, roots, folk and rock. Scionti walks her own creative path mixing it up on cigar box, resonator, lap steel and six-string guitar. Having won the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society’s (MBAS) Blues Performer of the Year in 2023, Scionti represented MBAS at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis TN, USA in January 2024 and made it through to the Semifinals.

Scionti has followed this up by releasing two new singles, ‘Faker’ and ‘Sing with The Birds’, and a third studio album ‘Sparrow And The Fox’ released on 12 July 2024. Sparrow and the Fox is a striped back acoustic album full of personal songs crafted after having moved back to her childhood hometown in East Gippsland. The album remains firmly imbedded deep in the sound of blues and roots but expands her repertoire in to a unique blend of folk. Soaring lap steel guitar and Scionti’s trademark bottleneck slide bringing a personal and ambient feel to the new 10 track album.

Scionti was a finalist in the 2021 Music Victoria Awards for 'Best Blues Act’, and her other releases include ‘Junkbox Racket’, ‘Orphan Diary’ (nominated for ‘Best Blues Album’ at the 2019 Music Victoria Awards) and her 2017 self-titled EP.
