Annabel Lee at Half Step
Annabel Lee is a Los Angeles rock and roll artist known for her unhinged stage persona and “high octane” (Grimy Goods) vocals. Her songwriting is raw and unfiltered with themes surrounding womanhood, empowerment, self-reliance and hidden strength. Getting her start performing at hardcore shows around New England, Annabel brings that kind of unbridled energy to her shows, where everyone is on the cusp of losing their shit.
She is a force in the underground Los Angeles alt rock scene selling out every venue she plays (The Echo, School Night, Satellite, Hotel Cafe). She is the creator and curator of the Sweat Gala, an annual multi-media, fine art rock showcase and art auction in Los Angeles. She was direct support for Amanda Palmer’s tour and has had songs featured on shows such as Mrs. Fletcher (HBO), Lucifer (Netflix), The Rookie (ABC), and in a national ad campaign for Casper Mattress. She was booted off of Songland by Leona Lewis where Ester Dean said “you’re an artist, don’t give away your song…I love everything about you.” Her debut album MOTHER'S HAMMER is out March 8, 2023.
