Anna Dagmar was three albums into a critically acclaimed songwriting career which wove together colorful jazz harmonies, inviting pop melodies and refined classical piano textures. Then she stepped into the world of folk music. There she learned how to lift a personal story to a universal truth. This summer, the NYC-based pianist, arranger and singer-songwriter releases a new album, matched in music and narrative, Satellite. British-born/NYC-based artist Anna Dagmar cites influences including Joni Mitchell, Billy Joel and Leonard Bernstein. An Eastman School of Music graduate, her third CD, Let the Waves Come in Threes (2009) charted #6 on the National Roots Report. Dagmar is a Gold Prize Winner in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest, a Kerrville New Folk Finalist and a member of the BMI Musical Theatre Workshop.
