Anne McCue - Amazing Ordinary Things

Born in Sydney, Australia, into a family of singers, Anne McCue's fate was sealed from the word "go." A move to Melbourne after college launched her musical career as she joined the hard rock band Girl Monstar. They topped Australia's indie charts and were nominated for two ARIA's (the Grammy equivalent). Four years later, McCue departed the band to focus on her own work. To up the ante, she accepted an offer to play in Vietnam for three months. Those months became 12 with performances almost every night. Once home in Melbourne, McCue finished recording her first solo project, a six-song disc titled Laughing. Australian alternative radio embraced the work, helping the single "Always" receive widespread airplay and a slot in the independent film This Space Between Us. McCue decided to join another band in 1997, Eden a.k.a., only to find herself touring the U.S. and Canada as part of Lilith Fair for two years in a row before signing a deal with Columbia Records.

The turn of the century saw McCue's exit from Eden a.k.a. and the re-launching of her solo career. She was quickly snapped up by Relentless Records and dove into the making of Amazing Ordinary Things. With material drawn from Laughing alongside newer compositions, McCue guided her artistic vision into reality. In addition to performing all over the world standing next to the likes of Emmylou Harris, Joan Armatrading, and more – the tune "More Than This" was featured on Dawson's Creeek, garnering some great exposure for McCue.
