“Annie Crane plays fabulous folk with enough thoughtful twang to transport you back in time...” – Time Out New York

“Her lilting, Celtic-inspired voice is prone to soaring. It’s quite beautiful, and she knows it...” – Independent Clauses

“This album is, on a lyrical level alone, a true folk record...” – Old Fridges Can Kill

NYC-based folk singer-songwriter Annie Crane will embark on a tour in October in support of her upcoming Jump With A Child’s Heart album scheduled for release by Constant Clip Records on October 4^th. Crane will kick off the run of dates with a record release show on October 1^st at NYC venue The Living Room where she will be joined by Jason Benjamin of the Red Hook Ramblers on Trumpet, Lauren Weaver on Cello, Brian Speaker on Drums, husband Eric Wolfson on Bass and Jeff Berner on Slide Guitar. Vocal harmonies will be provided by Claire Bowman of Americana duo The Bowmans.

The tour that follows will see Crane playing some intimate house shows in the same vein made recently notable by artists such as David Bazan and others. Crane is also satisfying a folk music tradition with these shows by playing to close crowds in an environment that lets the stories in her songs shine outside of the typical club environment. As with Bazan’s living room tours, these house shows can be attended by e-mailing the address provided in order to receive directions to the performance location.

One song fans are sure to hear is “Copenhagen Heart,” a song about missing home that is the current single from Jump With A Child's Heart. Crane recently released the Jesse Miksic-directed video for the tune which was in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in Ridgewood, Queens and in the artist's own apartment. It’s in this portion of the clip where viewers can clearly see the postcard reminders of Crane’s tour to Copenhagen, Paris, Hamburg and Berlin that inspired the song.

While this single was written in Denmark, the Jump With A Child's Heart album is decidedly urbane, especially for a Celtic-laced, Americana-based folk record. Tales of characters trying to make dreams come true in NYC run throughout the album and Crane plans to bring these same inspiring messages to those who see her on the road this fall. Jump With A Child's Heart will be released on October 4^th, 2011 by Constant Clip Records. Annie Crane is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
