Anna Weatherup
It is the point where talent and passion meet that you will find Anna Weatherup. A remarkable singer and songwriter, Anna is committed to the journey of succeeding at her craft.
Her career so far is a story of dedication and drive. A singer since the age of 13, Anna taught herself the guitar and has played live gigs for over 7 years. The childhood dream she still carries with her is to play to her own sold out concert; this is the goal she works towards everyday.
Her music is an acoustic blend of folk and country, but Anna never misses an opportunity to rock out a little too. Her positive personality gives her a captivating aura when performing and she takes to the stage like a person born to be there.
Her career highlights so far include supporting music legends Colin Hay & James Reyne on their respective tours. She also performed at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and spent time in London recently playing a series of very well received gigs. Her bright future will see Anna’s performance skills continue to grow with plans to travel through America and hit the Australian festival circuit.
Two years after the success of her debut E.P,Truth, Anna has released her an album which turns her life lessons into honest and beautiful music. To her, music is about connection and she tells her journey simply through the ethereal grace of her voice.
After The Storm is an album full of moments you can relate to. From the infectious and happy “Answered Prayer” to “Miracle” a song you can’t help but pause and reflect upon, this album is an honest and gracious step for the young singer.

Hi Anna,
It’s Thomas here, the guy from last night that knew you from way back in Townsville – Portrait bar…. Ha Ha… Sorry about that – spur of the moment thing – your mate is a bad influence. I really enjoyed your first set but I had to go home to my wife and daughter – my visit to the bar was not planned…. Funny that you should mention the Small Mercies, a good friend of my wife (Hayley) is with the bass player. I wasn’t lying when I said that I used to play professionally. If you are interested I wouldn’t mind having a jam one day. I like the style you play and I think my style of playing would mix well with yours. Anyway, I also have some tunes (no words) – I am not big on coming up with words except for one song. I have a PA setup in our living room with all that is required. If you like I could send you a copy of some of the things that I have done.
See ya,
Thomas.
