Fragile Thunder
Following the 2013 release of "Harpin' on the Dead", Anela formed a trio with Grateful Dead Hour’s David Gans and slack-key great Stephen Inglis entitled Fragile Thunder. This dynamic and innovative group has played at the Skull & Roses festival, Just Exactly Perfect festival, and the Days Between. They released an album "One Afternoon Long Ago" with Robin Sylvester in 2019. Fragile Thunder will be announcing a Pacific Northwest tour shortly.

Anela is a confessed natural beauty junkie. She spent 20 years in the Hawaiian Islands, mostly on the garden island of Kaua'i. She has spent some time in Taos, New Mexico, and the beautiful music mecca of Lyons, Colorado was home until last year. While in Hawai'i, she developed her distinctive style - fluid and graceful improvisation with kaleidoscopic overtones. She also arranged and recorded an instrumental album of Hawaiian songs (mele) called "Mele from the Harp".

Anela recently moved to Coos Bay on the beautiful southern Oregon Coast. In addition to enjoying the stunning beauty of Cape Arago, she plays at the Wildflour Public House both solo and with Bruce Rowe in a Renaissance - inspired folk rock group called Fantasia. She also plays with a kirtan-inspired group called The Coosbanian Caravan with cosmic local musicians Adam Weiner, Gordon Terry and Cherie Shine.
