Bonjour! My name is Anna and I am in the duo, Grits & Soul. We live in Asheville, North Carolina and just got added to the line-up at Country Festival in Belgium the last weekend of August. We would like to play some shows in France and would appreciate your help if you know of anyone or anything that might be a possibility! We are traveling as a duo -- guitar and mandolin.

At the heart of Grits & Soul are songcrafters Anna Kline and John Looney. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, they take the influences of mountain bluegrass and classic country and fuse it with those of Mississippi soul and blues.

On the heels of their 2013 Merlefest IBMA showcase and the release of their debut album, the duo continues to attract the attention of audiences in the Southeast. Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine gave the team a glowing review for their debut effort, calling *Flood Waters*" intriguing and enveloping." The recording highlights the collaboration of a gifted lyricist with a talented arranger, both with a shared sensibility of stirring melodies and powerful story lines.

The entire Flood Waters album can be heard here:

Over the past year they received coveted invitations to perform at Merlefest, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, Albino Skunk Festival, and Suwannee Springfest, to name a few. Upcoming appearances include Magfest 2015.

Grits & Soul are a memorable musical team. Their voices blend together in seamless harmony. Their collaboration forges a powerful connection between hard-driving bluegrass, barroom honky tonk, Celtic, Southern gospel, and slow-burning blues. Working together for four years now, they continue to hone their sound and songs onstage together, logging thousands of highway miles and hundreds of performances.

Anna's powerhouse voice is “mesmerizing -- growling, slurring, soaring, swooping, notebending, word-bending...they're all a part of her power-packed technique," says Bluegrass Unlimited.

John is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, setting the tone with his interpretation of classic melodies, while his skills as arranger shine through their original material.

They are currently working on new songs for a 2016 album release.
