Band. gives'contemporary flavour' to Walker's musie By Daniel Fromsten Anne Walker, a Whitby-based folk singer and snwrtrwho bas already releasedL a cassette, 'Rainwater,' is in the process o transforming bier solo act into a full-fledged band.

Wben Walker performs solo, * er acoustic guitar and delicate, impassioned voice are the only musical instruments. Altbough Walker listened to a wide variety of music styles * while growing up, including jazz and folk, sbe says that she was not greatly influenced by folk music legende like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell.

Walker's songs range from stinging commentaries on environmental issues ( cNothing Grows Here') to comparatively trivial issues like the prils of going shopping for a- batbiing suit or baving sex in a laundromat ('aundromat Love Affair') Regardless of wbetber a songs topic is serious or not, Walker paces a great deal of importance on creating words that will have some sort of emotional effect on the listener.. "The priority for me is to have an interesting lyric. The gays in the band, Jay Adam (keyboaràl) Harvey Dawson (percussion) and Ian Anderson (EWL citten and harmonica), take care of making interesting music with their arrangements.» Walker is looking forward te ber New England tour because of the area's «very bealtby folk music soene and very supportive audiee. » Another plus for the New Enj?- land states is tbat everytbmng is close together. «Down there everytbing is quite compact and that belps the performers quite a bit," Walker says.
