“Great songwriting - sharp and original...”

Anne Louise Genest (pronounced zha-nay) is a talented storyteller with a gift for rendering the details of everyday situations that speak to universal truths of the human condition. Anne Louise delivers it all with a rich, clear voice and solid guitar work that carve imagery and song into tales of love, longing, betrayal, hope and redemption. Anne Louise’s music has been used for both theatre and film, and can be heard on the airwaves across Canada and as far away as Europe and Australia.

Born and raised in downtown Toronto, Anne Louise took flight from the urban landscape and landed on the marge of Lake Laberge in Canada’s Yukon, where the brief but brightly lit summers and the long dark winters feed her already vivid imagination. When she is not recording, performing, or touring, Anne Louise works in family violence prevention. She lives in a cabin in the woods outside of Whitehorse with her partner Anthony, where they dream about old-fashioned winters and running water.
