Expanding on the experience she gained through performing for cancer, AIDS, and other critically ill patients, Annette was inspired to seek out a new direction in musical expression and healing, which resulted in the creation of Ashes to Phoenix -healing music for the mind body and spirit- www.ashes2phoenix.com. Self-taught on guitar, keyboards, Native American flute and many other instruments, Annette has written, recorded and produced several of her own CDs, as well as many other recording projects for several other area artists and youth. She has performed at the Hershey Theater for the live broadcast of the PBS radio production -The Chords are Stacked- and performed at many regional arts and music festivals. Her music has been aired on National Public Radio and other local broadcasts.
