about

Seattle Americana songwriter, Annie O’Neill, is a queen of the sonically seen and unseen. A guide in one moment, an elusive spirit the next, O’Neill holds out her proverbial hand to offer songs of pilgrimage, songs of shell games and the final ace up her sleeve. With her new EP, Wild Card, released this spring, O’Neill demonstrates the powerful verve that comes from confidence and the elastic energy that comes from explicating the truth.

O’Neill, a former busker at the historic Pike Place Market, now teaches music at the Hendrix Music Academy with the famed Hendrix family. Ever the performer, O’Neill can be found regularly performing both solo with her acoustic or with her band of talented Emerald City players. Prior to Wild Card, O’Neill sang for two years with the popular band, Danny Newcomb and the Sugarmakers, including on the record Masterwish, which also features Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready.

On Wild Card, the songwriter demonstrates an ability to blend world music influences with blues and soul, rock with folk to create a dynamic album. On the record, O’Neill collaborates with Seattle standouts like bassist and vocalist Amy Denio, electric guitarist Thaddeus Turner and bassist Rick Friel. Bolstered by pedal steel guitarist, Dan Tyack, the work sings like O’Neill sings, as if producing a panoramic rainbow from the grey that only those who look up can see.

lyrics

If I could ease your mind
take away the pain
you know I would
Fight the darkness and confusion
just like a warrioress
see what is true and good
If I could ease your mind
build a sanctuary for your heart, I would
As we wrestle with our dragons
in the deepest part of the darkest woods

And we're always on our way ...
searching for the way back home
And we're always on our way...
searching for the way back home ...
and we're always on our way
searching for the way back home
searching for the way back home

If I could ease your mind
take away the pain
you know I would
Fight the darkness and confusion
just like a warrior
see what is true and good
If I could ease your mind
build a sanctuary for your heart, I would
As we wrestle with our dragons
in the deepest part of the darkest woods

And we're always on our way ...
searching for the way back home
And we're always on our way..
searching for the way back home ...
and we're always on our way.
searching for the way back home
searching for the way back home
