“Music is the deepest feeling there is, in my book. It’s the best way we can know each other. These songs tell the story of my life. They’re my life, my heart.” Ann Savoy reflects on life and her new Smithsonian Folkways album in Folklife Magazine: s.si.edu/3UJUGCo 📷: Raleigh Powell
Special thanks to the Recording Academy / GRAMMYs for sending my GRAMMY nomination certificate! When I released “Traveling Wildfire” on Smithsonian Folkways there were a ton of people supporting & collaborating w/ me on the album! I’m so thankful to every one of them & all who worked behind the scenes!
“Just about every note of music I’ve ever played in my life has been dance music. If we can dance together, we can live together.”
—Blues musician Phil Wiggins (1954-2024)
