Anne Elise Hastings & Her Revolving Cast of Characters with Burris
Anne Elise Hastings and Her Revolving Cast of Characters is a New Orleans based folk rock band. Anne Elise carries her characters with powerful vocals and lyrically driven music, retaining her Appalaichian roots while embracing her adopted city sensibility. With inspirations ranging from Dolly Parton to Janis Joplin, listeners are exposed to feelings of anger, nostalgia, and heartbreak backed with compelling musical arrangements.
Over time, the cast of characters has undergone many changes and features a roster of multifaceted musicians who can switch instruments on a dime. The current cast is comprised of Anne Elise (vocals and rhythm guitar), Isaac Worley (drums and spoons), Dustin Dietsche (guitar) and Tristan Clark (bass). The respective styles of each member have culminated in the perfect marriage of nostalgic folk and the soulful bustle of New Orleans. They plan to release a new album in 2021.
