ANNYLAND PROVES POLISHED IN PORTLAND

-- Buck Munger, Two Louies

The NxNW live music highlight had to be Anny Celsi's homecoming with her band Annyland at the Key Largo, Friday, October 18th. Annyland's set exhibited a show business polish uncharacteristic in most other NxNW participants. Anny on guitar, backed superbly by Los Angeles standout sideman drummer Robbie Rist, guitarist Bruce Kaplan, bassist Steve Janowski and vocalist Cindy Jones, ripped through the Annyland set like they were headlining the Rose Garden.
