The Anne Marie Menta Band with Armand Morgan, Dan Martin & Cadence Carroll plays Best Video Film & Cultural Center Sat., Apr. 27, at 7 PM with special guests Shelley Valauskas and Shannon McMahon. The cover is $15.

Anne Marie Menta hails from New Haven, CT., where she has been a long time favorite singer/songwriter. She comes from a family of three brothers, where playing and listening to music was their great passion. Her musical credits include fronting various rock & roll, folk, and country bands as a singer/guitarist, including The Wanderers, Sugar Moon, Sky Riders, and Rodeo Radio. In the mid 90s, she decided to concentrate on her own original music, and those tunes of hers that she “snuck” into her cover band repertoire now became her main focus. But, the country, folk, and pop music that she loved continued to be an influence in her writing. Her most recent CD, “Sky Tonight,” came out in the fall of 2019.
