Nena Anderson

“There are singers…who fill songs with heartache or joy simply with their phrasing and sounds of their voices... Nena Anderson is one of these gifted singers... There is great strength in her voice, yet she has an offhand way of delivering the lines of a song, as though she is recounting the details of a recent romantic breakup while she’s sitting in your kitchen having a cup of coffee.” — San Diego Troubadour.  Influenced by California sounds of 70s country, rock and folk and 80’s LA & UK punk and pop: Merle Haggard via the Pretenders. Whether it's at the San Diego Symphony, music halls, punk clubs or honky-tonks around the country, she’s a welcome favorite of fans and musicians alike. She performs solo (or w/solo band), her honky-tonk group, Brawley (featuring former members of Lee Rocker, The Hacienda Brothers and Smith’s Ranch Boys), or occasionally performing jazz and western swing with Jetset  (8 year residents at Ace Hotel & Swim Club) or Village Trio.
