Anna Hillburg
ABOUT
Once described as the love child of Christie McVie and Herb Alpert, singer-songwriter and trumpeter Anna Hillburg has spent several years making music in the Bay Area. In addition to her own work she has contributed to acts such as Shannon and The Clams, The Dodos, The Moore Brothers, Will Sprott, Dream Date, Greg Ashley, Shannon Shaw and her All Star Buddy Band, and more. She spent her teenage years playing with the All American Band at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. She came to the Bay Area to study music at UC Berkeley, where she was a member of the University’s symphony. After graduating she toured with several different bands in the US and Europe.
Hillburg has released three solo albums, self titled (2013), “Really Real” (2018), and most recently Tired Girls (2023) on Speakeasy Studios SF. The songs of Tired Girls were conceived during the pandemic, while Hillburg found inspiration and a boost of confidence in the face of uncertainty. Hillburg enlisted producer Jason Quever (Papercuts, Beach House, Dean Wareham) along with her all star band featuring members of The Dodos and Chime School to create a rich Chamber Pop album that sonically meshes flawlessly with the feminist themes Tired Girls.
