Anne Stott and political rabble-rousing through song

Anne Stott is a singer/songwriter, actor and political rabble rouser who has brought her elastic and enigmatic sound and edgy compassion to audiences along the Eastern Seaboard and beyond for over two decades. Her second album, LOVE NEVER DIES, peaked at #19 on the Relix Magazine radio chart.

Water to Blood is a song Anne hopes will motivate people who haven’t been engaged in climate change to get more active and become a comfort and help rejuvenate and energize those who have been devoting their lives to making change.
