Bio

Singer-songwriter, guitarist, dulcimer player.

Anne is a singer songwriter from Scotland. Her music is a heady mix of genres with nods to indie folk, country americana, blues and jazz, with strong vocal melody lines and a penchant for harmony and open tunings. 

Her debut album 'Cigarettes and Smokescreens' is currently on all streaming platforms and available to purchaser on CD or limited edition vinyl from Record Company 'Last Night From Glasgow' and at gigs, with a digital download available to purchase from BandCamp. 

She is endorsed by Cole Clark Guitars ,G7th Capos and Carl Martin Pedals. 

Anne trained as an actor at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.

With an extensive performance history, Anne has toured throughout the UK and abroad both as a solo artist and lately with her ensemble, The Anne Gair Band. She has played at prestigious venues including The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall (Celtic Connections 2025. 2026), The 100 Club,  The Cavern Club, The Hard Rock Cafe, The Voodoo Rooms, King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, Belladrum Tartan Heart festival, and regularly performs to sold-out audiences in venues, folk clubs and theatres across the country.

Anne possesses a passion for writing in alternative open tunings and pushing genre boundaries which  has drawn comparison to Laura Marling, Joni Mitchell, John Martyn, and Imelda May. as she lets each song breathe and travel where it needs to go.

She continues to dabble in acting, most recently having great fun playing a Highwaywoman in a comedy sci-fi that will be showing at film festivals this coming year.

When not on stage, you will usually find her in a field in Scotland, in the middle of no-where with her two retired horses.

Anne has got the most stunning voice, It's very Joni Mitchell-esque. (Her music) is beautiful storytelling and gorgeous melodies. ”
