How did you get involved with Girls Rock RI?
I signed up as soon as I heard about it! It is one of the most amazing things I have been apart of in my life.

How did you get started in music?
My parents started me out playing piano when I was 4 or 5, but by the time I was 8, I had found metal (terrible cheesy 80's metal) but I was obsessed and I wanted to bang on things. So I would play Tupperware with chopsticks until I had annoyed my parents into submission and 4 years later had a drum set.

What was your first rock show and what do you remember most about it?
KISS. The 1984 Animalize tour. I was wrapped around my mom's leg when we met Paul Stanley and was ABSOLUTELY terrified of him...the man was wearing neon feathers, I'm not sure why I was so scared. That concert is also what singlehandedly started my obsession with music. I knew that THAT was what I wanted to do.

What female musician (dead or alive) would you most like to meet?
Wendy O. Williams from the Plasmatics or Big Mama Thornton
I can't decide!
What message do you have for all the budding female rockers out there?
Don't let anyone intimidate you or tell you what you can or can't do. That seems obvious to me now, but growing up it was so difficult to find the confidence to do so. Don't forget...YOU ROCK! and no one can take that from you.
Where can we find you when you are not rocking?
my garden, in the woods, at the ocean, or asleep with one cat on my face and the other on my belly

Lots of fiddle music and 70's psych lately thrown into my normal rotation of doom, metal, and punk...I'm all over the place. I love it all.
From everyone at Girls Rock RI... You ROCK Anne Marie! Thank you for all you do!
