Anne Elise Hastings and her Revolving Cast of Characters is turning everything we know about folk music on its head. A native of Roanoke Virginia, Hastings is no stranger to traditional folk Americana, having grown up listening to cowboy country icons like Townes Van Zandt and Emmylou Harris.
At 18 years old, Hastings made a move to the Big Easy that not only placed her in the line of sight of immensely talented artists, but also defined her Appalachian- folk-meets-New Orleans sound.
In her early years of living in New Orleans, Hastings met and collaborated with drummer Isaac Worley and developed a sound that captured the lyrical integrity and honesty of traditional folk music, while exceeding the expectations of listeners with the addition of a trumpet player that conveys the New Orleans feel of a booming brass section. Over time, the cast of characters has undergone many changes, and it features a roster of multifaceted musicians who can switch instruments on a dime.
