Anna Hillburg: graduated from the highly selective Los Angeles County High School for the Arts where she was awarded the Lew and Edie Wasserman Award as the school’s top instrumentalist. After graduating she came to the Bay Area to study music at UC Berkeley, where she was a member of the University’s symphony. She spent her 20’s and early 30’s touring with several different bands in the US and Europe before becoming a music teacher to students of all ages. After her 2013 self titled album, Hillburg went on to release “Really Real” in 2018, gaining even more accreditation and praise a songwriter on her own. She has once again joined Bay Area members of Extra Classic, The Dodos, Yea-Ming and the Rumours, and Chime School to release her third solo album, ironically entitled “Tired Girls.”“Tired Girls” was recorded with Jason Quever, long time producer and musician with his group The Papercuts. Hillburg incorporates elements of classical music while creating a thoughtful masterpiece of a pop record. It has an extremely rich feel, featuring intricate piano solos and soaring trumpet sections. Her rich musical background shines brightly throughout the album and tells the story of aspects of her life (musically and otherwise) up to now. There also garage rock elements and nods to great singer songwriters of the past, poppy hooks, and trumpet solos that can only be described as classy and elegant. Yet again she still manages to write catchy hits that keep coming. Try to find a dud on the album because frankly there really isn’t one. Hillburg’s third record marks her arrival. Each track shows not only her talent but her progression as a songwriter, performer, and composer and absolutely should not be missed.
