About Anita Rosamond

Vocalist/pianist/songwriter Anita Rosamond has earned a reputation as one of the most exciting performers on the Midwest music scene. Anita has won critical acclaim for performances at venues such as the Pageant, the Sheldon Concert Hall and Jazz at the Bistro... and at events like the KMOX Jazz & Wine Festival, the St. Louis Jazz & Heritage Festival, the Old Webster Jazz & Blues Festival and The Big Muddy Blues Festival.

Anita's vocal talent and wide-ranging repertoire are showcased on her acclaimed recordings:

Timeless, a winning blend of jazz standards, soulful R&B and well-crafted originals... This Is Christmas, an impressive mix of holiday classics... and her latest CD, "Liftin' Me Higher" — LIVE! — a tribute to classic songs recorded by legendary female vocalists of the 1960's and '70's.

"My musical background includes many different influences, and I've come to love so many styles of music because of that," states Anita. "And that allows me to cater to the particular venue and audience where I'm performing."

For Anita, performing her music is not only a privilege; it's a commitment to deliver a great evening of entertainment. "It's my responsibility to entertain an audience to the best of my ability every time I perform," she adds. "If they come out to an event for the evening, they're expecting to be entertained, and they deserve that from me. So it's important for me as a performer to give them all I have to give. And that's what I love to do."

Performing with a smaller group or her full six-piece band, Anita Rosamond and her talented musicians build an immediate connection with an audience — and create an atmosphere of "friends playing music for friends!"
