British Country singer-songwriter Anna Howie releases her album ‘The Friday Night Club’ on 25 March 2022 through Absolute Label Services. Her last EP, produced by Grammy Award Winner, Bob Britt was recorded in Nashville and went to number 5 in the UK country charts

The album features 11 original songs that muse on the nature of life, and love. The Friday Night Club’ itself was born in lockdown. Anna initially used the online sessions as a way of keeping on playing, but also have an audience to try out her new material on. As a performer who relishes that connection that comes only from playing in a room to a live audience, Anna was initially reluctant. The feedback kept her going, however, and she ended up doing 28 sessions in a row. Those shows eventually garnered nearly two million views! As Anna says herself, she accidentally created a community.

Anna Howie says of the album “Throughout the strangest of times, music remains at the heart of bringing people together, ‘The Friday Night Club’ is for all those amazing people who rocked up to sing with me at 6:30 on A Friday”.

Anna was delighted to be able to team up with super-talented producer and multi-instrumentalist Lukas Drinkwater. She created ‘The Friday Night Club’ over a period of six months at his Polyphonic Studio in the UK.

Anna Howie is a songwriter and performer who is able to connect with her audience. During those dark lockdown days, she kept Google Translate busy reading the messages that poured in from all over the world. ‘The Friday Night Club’ is an album with heart, humour, and heft – one that repays listening any day of the week.

Anna’s live show at The Bedford, will see her on stage with her band; Andy Evans, Roger Nunn, Harry Whitty, and see her supported by brilliant lyricist, songwriter, and performer Jack Bowden.
