​Animated with Annie

We swing and sway, sometimes in a Latin way. We love to connect on stage and with our audience. We have fun while taking our music seriously with a dash of humour to put a smile on every dial. We're Animated!

Animated is comprised of some wonderfully experienced and entertaining musicians. They know how to swing. Annie Smith loves to bring characters to life and tell stories through the medium of jazz. She has honed her skills over many years of performing at jazz festivals and doing gigs around town. Her jazz singing is laced with humour and wry observations about love and life. She loves to entertain, inspired by the likes of Carmen McRae, Frank Sinatra and the music of  Gershwin, Porter, Jobim and other great composers of enduring and lesser known jazz standards.
