Today's Video Share: "American Dream" by Anna Larson

“Beauty is what I’m chasing” Anna Larson is an emerging singer-songwriter, fusing diverse musical roots with piano-driven originality.

Larson's January 2021 release "Cocoon": 7 original songs plus an accompanying short film- and was made completely in isolation during 2020. Larson has appeared on NPR Music’s “All Songs Considered”, as well as placing in the 2019 Woody Guthrie Songwriting Competition. She made her solo album debut in February 2019 with “Shifting Sand”- a distinctive collection of songs rife with soul and Americana.

"American Dream", is the lead track from accidental album "Cocoon". This sonic universe is a time capsule from this version of now, paired with a half-hour visual album, filled with found recordings, re-shaped sounds & footage from the public domain, signs and signals from the outside world. Every sound and video element was created in isolation by a single mic, piano & acoustic guitar, augmented with public domain footage by Larson, with drums and additional production beamed in from two musical partners (Mikey Best and Britton Beisenherz of Ramblecreek Recording).

Larson is a also a longtime music educator, former theatre nerd, recovering classical pianist, and mother of three.
