Anne-Marie Sanderson

Anne-Marie Sanderson is a Cumbrian singer/songwriter, currently based in London. Music has always been a hefty chunk of her life, ever since she was smaller than her first cello. In 2007 she recorded her debut album ‘Navigating By Stars’, a collection of 11 songs… love songs, homesick songs, wandering songs, songs for the changing seasons… the album explores varied musical landscapes, from the lush instrumental textures of the title track and ‘One of those Days’, to the simple voice and guitar arrangement of ‘Dry Leaves’.
