Anni Piper began playing electric guitar at 12 years old, but became a devoted musician when she was given her first bass at age 14. She quickly discovered an affinity with the instrument, preferring to lay down a groove rather than scream out a solo. Anni’s musical ability and strong focus led her to complete a Bachelor of Arts (Contemporary Music) at Southern Cross University, Lismore NSW, at only 19 years of age. Piper's latest album is a bold departure from her earlier work. From the first bars of 'Amazon', a nod to SRV's 'Scuttlebuttin', there's clearly a new energy and passion from her virtuosic backing band. This allows Piper's musicianship and skills as a vocalist, bassist and composer to shine. From the funky slapping and popping on 'Dreamcatcher', 70s-rock inspired classic riffs on 'Highway Time' (her sardonic tribute to life on the road), and the driving rhythms of 'The Whistleblower', Piper fulfils the promise she displayed in her earlier recordings. Inspired by the blues rock idols she enjoyed in her youth, she states 'this is the album I always wanted to make'.
