Nashville’s reputation as a breeding ground for great songs and songwriters is built on people like this. California native Anna Vaus has made waves as a writer in her short time in Nashville, from being named the first recipient of the Miranda Lambert Women Creators scholarship to signing a publishing deal with Black River Entertainment, to releasing her original music on her debut EP almost one year ago. Wit, charm, authenticity, and transparency abound on The California Kid, and if you haven’t heard her music yet, take this chance to get familiar, because we’ll be hearing a lot more from this up-and-coming artist.
