Vol. 5, No. 14 - November 1998 - Annie Haslam & Steve Howe
The latest Artist Shop newsletter is out and you'll find it in its entirety at http://www.artist-shop.com/news.htm. But here's a little excerpt I know will be of interest to many Yes fans.
Annie Haslam, soloist and lead vocalist of Renaissance will be joining The Artist Shop and Talk City on Wednesday, November 11 at 9pm eastern/6pm pacific. Full details on joining the chat can be found at
As the lead vocalist for the British group Renaissance, she has been acclaimed as the nightingale of progressive music. In addition to the ten albums she recorded with Renaissance, she has released four solo albums and collaborated with such renowned musicians as Roy Wood, Justin Hayward and Steve Howe. One of the highest achievements of her career was her live performance with Renaissance accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall and also recording with the orchestra on her solo CD, Still Life.
Her writing career began when she met producer Tony Visconti who encouraged her in this new medium of expression. Borne from this came the album, Blessing in Disguise, where the majority of the songs were co-written by Annie and Tony. Her more recent collaboration with Yes guitarist Steve Howe has taken her to new heights in her musical career.
Annie will be taking your questions and discussing her new and forthcoming solo albums on White Dove Records, her work with Steve Howe, and the recent reunion of Renaissance, and upcoming solo performances!
Annie will be doing a peformance this week and some more planned for the holidays. You'll find the following information posted at
