Annalivia is steeped in the history of traditional American roots music, including bluegrass, Irish, Scottish, Norwegian, and Old Time Appalachian. The band's charm lies in their seemingly effortless ability to fuse the aforementioned sounds of yesteryear to create something entirely new, with an energy that can only be described as contagious.

Annalivia's latest release, "The Same Way Down," captures the band's innate connection with American roots music. The album features traditional songs and fiddle tunes alongside stunning original pieces, presented with the band's unique style and inspired arranging sensibilities. The album debuted at No. 7 on the international folk DJ charts, with "False Sir John" reaching the No. 1 spot on folk radio worldwide.

Annalivia is a true American "roots and branches" string band which draws from tradition to create their own brand of new acoustic folk music. The members of Annalivia - Liz Simmons, Flynn Cohen, and newest member Bronwyn Keith-Hynes - are all masterful players and have long histories with traditional music. Their material can range from an inventive, quirky original fiddle tune to an innovative arrangement of a traditional song. The members of Annalivia are all seasoned musicians and have toured with the likes of Cathie Ryan, Ruth Moody, John Whelan, Aoife Clancy, and Adrienne Young, among many others.
