Annie  Sumi is an ethereal-folk artist with a unique ability to capture the  subtleties of nature and spin them into melodies. Her latest release,  "Solastalgia", reflects on the permeability of landscape in the present  age of the anthropocene. The album creates a soundscape that playfully  explores the harsh-beauty of the Canadian wilderness. Since the release  of her debut album, in 2015, she has received nominations for  "New/Emerging Artist of the Year" (Canadian Folk Music Awards, 2018),  "Best Singer-Songwriter" (TIMAs, 2015), "New/Emerging Artist of the  Year" (Hidden Roots Collective, CFMAs, 2017), and more. With support  from the Ontario Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts, and FACTOR,  she has carried these songs to stages across Canada, U.S., U.K., and  central Europe. Whether she is solo, surrounded by cello and violin, or  accompanied by piano, her live performance is dynamic and mesmerizing.
