Named after an old Western novel, ANNA FERMIN’S Trigger Gospel reflects a spirited sound that intertwines hometown country and rock & roll with “a strong melodic-pop appeal.” (Holly Rushakoff, The Octopus)

The Philippine-born Anna Fermin immigrated to the U.S. with her family at a young age and found herself growing up in Wisconsin where she was trained in piano, voice and violin. Moving to Chicago in 1989, Fermin added the acoustic guitar to her repertoire, penned her first song in 1994 and immediately started showcasing her songwriting at local open mics and coffee houses where her voice established itself as powerful and emotional instrument all on its own. “She can deliver a husky approximation of Dolly Parton in one breath and shift into deep soul belting in the next.” (Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader)

The eclectic influences of her bandmates, which include Paul Bivans on drums & percussion and Michael Krayniak on stand-up bass, have become the right compliment to Fermin’s “simple, slow shuffles and country rockers that smartly place her voice where it belongs - front and center.” (Monica Eng/Chicago Tribune)
