Anke Summerhill has been with the Moab Folk Camp, since its beginnings in 2008, and it is one of her favorite weeks of the year! She is excited to be joining PSGW this year!
Along with performing her own songs in a variety of venues, in her community around the Salt Lake Valley and beyond, sometimes joining her friends on stage to sing & record harmonies, she has been working with the wonderful non-profit organization, Heart & Soul, since 1998, helping to bring music to people of all ages.
Whether in concerts, songwriting workshops or in teaching guitar, she is continually inspired by the healing power of music and its ability to bring people together.
Originally from Munich, Germany; with some time spent attending Summerhill school, in England, just before her family moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Anke has made her home in the beautiful desert of Utah since the mid 1980’s.
Anke Summerhill’s diverse background and powerful gift of observation, has seasoned her songwriting and performances with qualities which embrace compassion and human diversity. She loves to sing and her distinct alto voice has been compared by David Lindley, to the rich resonance of a cello.
