Annadeene Konesni Fowler

Steeped in traditions of music and festivals of Western North Carolina and Kentucky from birth, Annadeene was in fact named for old-time guitar player and singer Annadeene Fraley. She’s sure music followed the name.

Exposed to and trying out all kinds of music after moving to Maine, Annadeene discovered the joys of performance and musical theatre at age 7 on the stages of Maine State Music Theatre and playhouses of the Midcoast. She picked up parts singing in high school choruses, and with DownEast Singers. She was a featured vocalist with Portland Symphony Orchestra, and wound up her youth musical studies at Walnut Hill School in Natick, Ma., majoring in Opera.

These days Annadeene weaves her harmonies and melodies with family and friends in genres of folk, country, bluegrass, blues and rock ‘n roll as a singer of Americana band The Hot Suppers.  She has been an instructor at Strung Together Music Festival in Searsport, Maine. She is the co-producer of Belfast Summer Music Series, and promoter of musical and artistic acts throughout Maine.

Leave the cases and capos and pesky breaking strings to the other musicians. Annadeene would like to encourage the Warblers to dig in, open up their mouths and let their inner voice shine!
