Dancing in the Light album release!

Donation protected


 Anne-Marie Lax is a singer/songwriter from New Mexico.  She is a regular speaker at Unity Spiritual Center East Mountains and has been a featured performer at Second Saturday Community CoffeeHouse. Her first album Dancing in the Light is due to be released in the next few months. It was produced and partially co-written by the phenomenally talented Katie Gill, recorded, engineered and mixed by John Wall at Wall of Sound Studios, and will be mastered by Jason Blum of Sigil Media. This collection of 12 positive and inspirational  songs, covering genres from rock, blues, jazz and pop take you on a spiritual journey from the ridiculous to the sublime.  It features the talents of a multitude of amazing musicians including Jazz guitarist Michael Anthony and piano virtuoso Susan Clark. It's almost complete, with only  a couple more tracks to record, then mixing, mastering, album artwork and printing, as well as advertising. Anne-Marie has funded most of the project for items such as recording and paying the musicians, out of her own pocket, but NOW, with the project so near to completion, SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP! Your contributions will go for finishing these last few tasks, as well as promotional items such as music videos and website design.

Anne-Marie's first video "Choose Love" , which can be seen at the end of the promo video above, was recently voted Best Posi Music Video for the 2015 Empower Posi Music Awards! http://www.empowerma.com/ 
Anne-Marie is thrilled, along with co-writer Robyn MacKenzie, to have been invited to the 11th annual Posi Music Awards on February 14, 2016  in Tampa, Florida to accept this award!

Her second video,  "Road to Damascus", recorded on location in New Mexico, (sneak preview can be seen above in the promo video!) with gifted videographer Robin Rupe of Volti Subito Productions, is in post-production and will be ready to be released soon! She has plans to record 4 or 5 more videos but she needs your help to accomplish this!!!
