About
The Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame welcomes the exciting duo of Annie Ellicott and Mark Bruner back to the Jazz Depot stage. Annie has just returned from an international tour with Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. She is an American jazz singer, composer and voice actor. She began performing from an early age in Tulsa, Oklahoma, making dozens of stage appearances as a child. After being discovered while in high school by veteran musician Buddy Bruce, she joined him and keyboardist Gayle Williamson as the singer for the jazz trio Soundz Good. She later formed her own group and has collaborated with a number of local and national jazz musicians, including Brian Haas and Jeff Goldblum's The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. Her 2016 avant-garde album Lonesome Goldmine featuring all original material won The Tulsa Voice's Best Local Album of the year. Mark Bruner has been a part of the Tulsa music scene for 30 years. The hallmark of his playing has always been his “chameleon like” diversity. A blues player extraordinaire for sure with a penchant for low tunings and evocative slide guitar…but his ability to shift musical styles from Jazz, R&B, Pop and American roots has him in constant demand. His sound, touch and groove have earned him critical acclaim, as well as ten Oklahoma State fingerstyle guitar titles. ...
