Anne E. DeChant


Anne E. DeChant is an American rock singer/songwriter/guitarist based in the Cleveland area. Her career began with the band Odd Girl Out in the early 1990s before releasing her first solo project in 1996.

History

With Alexis Antes and Victoria Fliegel, Odd Girl Out enjoyed a niche following, particularly on the college scene. The band got airplay on, and support from, commercial radio stations in the Cleveland market, shortly before media deregulation and consolidation made the practice less common.
In July 1997, Anne E. DeChant released her first solo album, with a more mainstream sound, but departing a bit from her folk roots.

Songwriting

DeChant writes her share of heart-felt songs of heartache and heartbreak. However, many of her most popular tracks are about social justice issues. Examples include Girls and Airplanes, Green Hand, Swastika, 25, and Second Class Citizen and "What Do You Care", "World War III".
Anne E. DeChant is the lead vocal, and plays rhythm guitar and/or ukelele on her albums.
