Description:
There is mystery to observe in Anna Rose Beck’s lyrics. At 24 years old, her cheeks still glow with girlish youth under the lights of the stage, but her songwriting speaks of experiences matured well beyond her years. Mysterious also in her confidence, and so comfortable with her hushy middle soprano intensity that you will seek explanation for how one so fair can reach so far.

Despite being born and raised in Austin, TX, musical mecca and home of Austin City Limits, Beck did not pick up a guitar until she was 21 and a senior in college at Duke. Upon graduating with a degree in biomedical engineering, she chose to remain in North Carolina to further develop as a musician and begin performing regularly at venues across the state.

In 2010, Beck collaborated with Asheville-based producer Andrew Schatzberg (landslidestudio.com) to create her first album The Weathermaker: a concise seven-song set that puts Beck's talents out front. Her dreamy picking and resonant vocals are buoyed by conservative yet rewarding full-band arrangements. Seeming at once both bold and understated, she manages piercing reverberations without having to reach. The result is moving and hypnotic, brimming with passion but never overpowering.
