Songwriting and Electric Guitar
All Levels
Nancy Wilson says: "The new album (East of Electric) is such a beauty. The song Beautiful Thing is stunning. I love every song on this record...maybe because Anne McCue is my Aussie clone!" Anne is mainly known as a guitar player/ songwriter and writes for both acoustic and electric, folk, blues, rock. It's all about not blocking your ideas, every idea is a gem waiting to be sculpted into a song. Bring your ideas and let's turn them into gems. Anne will bring some different instruments such as mandolin and cheatin' banjo to incorporate into your writing process.
AnchorAbout Anne McCue
Anne McCue's career has covered punk, Lilith Fair, Australian awards and Vietnam. She has appeared as guest guitarist/vocalist on albums by Michelle Shocked and Gina Villalobos. After Anne graduated from Sydney's University of Technology with a degree in Film Production and Film Studies she moved to Melbourne with little more than a $60 guitar she "borrowed" from her brother, a large blue suitcase, and a plan to write a novel. Finding the writer's life a little isolating, she answered an ad in the paper which read "Wanted: Wild Women For Rock'n'Roll Band" and joined a pop rock band as lead guitarist, touring the country and topping the independent charts for weeks at a time. On the side, she studied music theory and began honing her own song writing style. After four years and an ARIA nomination (the Australian Grammys) for the band, Anne pursued her solo career which took her, rather surprisingly to Vietnam.
She continued recording her original songs but took the opportunity to become a member of a group which was soon signed to the biggest record label in the world giving Anne the opportunity to tour the U.S. and Canada as part of the "Lilith Fair." This experience brought her on stage with many of the greats such as The Pretenders, Emmylou Harris and Sarah McLachlan and took her to Los Angeles. McCue is a superior songwriter, an excellent vocalist, an accomplished and tasteful lead player... Her soloing evokes the ghosts of Paul Kossoff of Free and possibly even Tommy Bolin - players who knew the value of just the right note on the right occasion, while still being able to let rip when a tune was kicking. Her playing is tasteful and seamless. has appeared as guest guitarist/vocalist on albums by Michelle Shocked and Gina Villalobos.
