Anker Singer / Songwriter

WELCOME!

Anker is a solo acoustic rock act in the live setting. In the studio, his team consists of a troupe of professional musicians, producers and a Grammy winning mastering technician. You won't find sleepy droning coffeehouse music here. Anker’s music is alive and rooted in the finest Americana based pop/rock. This has allowed him opening slots with Vinny Martell (Vanilla Fudge), Richard Barone (The Bongos) and a special event with Darryl McDaniels (RUN-D.M.C.). During the many online events of the Covid quarantine, Anker shared programming with John Easdale (Dramarama) & Senator Al Franken.

Anker has a lot of original material and is sure to avoid cliché cover songs. Audiences will find his original music familiar. They'll also welcome the deeper cover songs from the same classic acts other musicians rely on for the standard Top 3 greatest hits. Anker believes in sharing great music with his audiences, not just tired old songs.

The open mic scene was fertile ground for Anker to hone his repertoire. He took over hosting duties in September 2015 at Grover's Mill Coffee House (West Windsor, NJ) open mic where the local music scene thrived since 2010. It was forced into haitus with the Covid-19 pandemic. During the shutdown, Anker took his open mic to a weekly Zoom "Pandemic Open Mic" gathering which held an international audience. Anker ended all of his open mic hosting responsibilities in February 2022 to focus on his live performances & the recording new material.

Anker’s last 2 projects were part of the “deLise Sessions”. These 2 songs, "Dust" &"Moments",  were recorded by Dr. Louis DeLise (Cherry Hill, NJ – Patti Labelle, Robert Hazard, Carlos Santana, etc.) & mastered by Grammy winning engineer Alan Douches.

PleasePassTheIndie.com said “Dust” puts words of wisdom to music. Sometimes things do not work out the way we hoped but we can move forward. You will find yourself blowing off the dust of disappointments while embracing the present.

IndieSpoonful.com priased “Moments” as a song that can change your mood, lift your spirits, empower, enlighten & brighten your day. In these tumultuous times, Anker’s chorus of “Rise up – make it everlasting. Rise up – everyday” couldn’t deliver a better message.
