Des Moines, IA’s Anna Gebhardt has been making music as Annalibera for a while now, bringing her classically trained voice to a distinctly Midwestern style. 2015’s Nevermind I Love You is both dusty and ethereal, full of very catchy songs and quite lovely. You can stream the whole thing below.

Annalibera is in NYC where she’ll play tonight (6/14) at Baby’s All Right. You might recognize her drummer as her Des Moines neighbor Bob Nastanovich of Pavement and Silver Jews fame. Bob will also be spinning tunes after Anna’s set as DJ Need A Stack. His bio notes, “In addition to trying to entertain with a vast blend of music from 1950-2015 (he has been on a bit of a Hawaiian kick and you’re as likely to hear Walter Wanderley as Wire), Nastanovich gladly takes suggestions on strategies to reignite Pavement and Silver Jews action.” Willy Muse is also on the bill and tickets are on sale now.

Annalibera’s only other upcoming date is Chicago’s Louder House on June 18.
