Biography
Vocals, Keyboards: Anam Owili-Eger (uh-NAHM oh-WEE-lee ee-GAIR)
Bass: James "Super Duper" Cooper
Drums: Peter Gaudioso

Through his idiosyncratic piano playing and his uniquely soulful voice, singer/songwriter Anam Owili-Eger defies genres by weaving a colorful fabric of soul, jazz, funk, folk and rock. With influences as diverse as Stevie Wonder, Sting, Tori Amos and McCoy Tyner, Anam captivates audiences not only through his playing, but also through his introspective--and sometimes dark or political--lyrics of love, loneliness, madness and mortality.

Anam's song, "The Moment," was one of nine finalists in the 2005 Singer/Songwriter Awards.

"It's important to me that each song tell a story," says Anam, a native of Philadelphia, PA. "Whether it tells a whole one from beginning to end, or just offers a quick glimpse into someone's life, I think the best songs not only take you somewhere musically, but also to another place and time."
