Piper first started playing electric guitar at age twelve, but switched to
bass at age fourteen. In 2004 Anni released an album entitled "Jailbait" in her
native Australia, for which she won "Best New Talent" at the 2005 Australian
Blues Music Awards. Subsequent album releases include 2007's "Texas Hold 'Em,"
2010's "Chasin' Tail" (released by Blues Leaf), and her newest, 2013's "Split
Second." Blues Leaf also released "Two's Company," a compilation from her two
Australian releases. Throughout her burgeoning career, Piper's charismatic
stage presence and sultry vocals have garnered her both great reviews and
multiple music industry awards nominations.
Piper recently won
"Best Blues Album" at the 2013
Canberra Roots & Blues Awards in Australia, for her collaborative
effort with Nicole Hart on the critically-lauded Split Second (Blues
Leaf Records). Released earlier this
year, Split Second continues receiving extensive international radio
airplay (including charting on Living Blues) and was a recent "Pick to
Click" on SiriusXM's popular Bluesville show while earning terrific
reviews from music critics everywhere. Dr. Blues writes, "When two hot mama
blues divas get it together, you can assure that fireworks are in store. Piper
and Hart lead and follow, harmonize and highlight each other like sisters from
another mother while the band provides all the heat needed to keep things at a
boil."
