A BITTERSWEET BASH’ ON VALENTINE’S DAY AT

 SET TO CLOSE AT FEBRUARY’S END

NASHVILLE – Fast-rising pop singer-songwriter Annie Bany brings her fresh, playful and edgy vibe to “Stupid Cupid: A Bittersweet Bash ^[1]” – a unique singles-oriented, 21-and-over Valentine’s Day show ^[2] at Nashville’s world renowned live music venue 12^th & Porter - an iconic musical landmark set to close at the end of February.

Annie, who hits the stage at 10 p.m., is part of a stellar indie artist lineup that includes Taylor X and the Kate Hasting Band. Tickets are $10 at the door and $5 if purchased in advance here ^[2]. Doors open at 7 and show time is 8 p.m. The evening’s festivities will include hourly prize giveaways and Valentine drink specials.

12^th & Porter is located at 114 12^th Avenue N., Nashville Tenn. 37203. For more information, please call (615) 320-3754 or visit www.12andporter.com ^[3].

The Oregon-born-and-raised Annie’s infectious debut single “Hot Lipz ^[4],” penned by the singer with her co-producers Cody Falkosky and Ben Vredevelt, hit all the digital outlets on January 15. The track will receive radio promotion from top L.A.-based firm Jeff McClusky & Associates starting this spring. Annie is currently working on a full-length album, set for tentative release in late spring or early summer.

The multi-talented performer is building momentum for the track via its colorful, high-energy video, which features Annie in a day/night roller rink scenario, perfectly mixing innocent charm with a hint of sex appeal as she longs for – and rolls along with – the guy whose affection she wants.

Annie is currently in between two celebrations for the release of “Hot Lipz ^[4]” and its video. She held a Nashville release party on January 15 at 12th & Porter, and she will tentatively be hosting a second gathering in Portland, Oregon next month.

“Annie is the breath of fresh air the pop world is waiting for,” says Bernard Porter, President and Founder of PCG Nashville, the nation’s top artist development company which is presenting the Valentine’s Day show. “She’s 100 percent commercial. Her writing is very fresh and her spirit is Katy Perry meets Taylor Swift meets Pink. We are thrilled to have her on our roster at PCG and look forward to watching her amazing future unfold.”
