Widely popular in the Contemporary Christian music world, the next artist announced in Great New York State Fair’s Chevrolet Music Series was recently recognized as one of Pandora’s Artists to Watch in 2023. Anne Wilson will take the Chevy Court Stage at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, August 28.
Anne is known for blending the heart of Contemporary Christian music and Country music. Those familiar with both genres might recognize “My Jesus,” a bluesy gospel ballad that earned GOLD certification as No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart in 2021, making Anne the first debut female artist to hold that honor. In 2022, the song was recognized as ASCAP’s Christian Music Awards’ Song of the Year. Later that year, the debut album by the same name earned Anne GRAMMY and American Music Award nominations, two GMA Dove Awards, and two K-LOVE Fan Awards.
Now 21-years-old, Anne’s first public performance occurred when she was 15… and it went viral. Her moving rendition of the popular worship song, “What a Beautiful Name,” – sung at her 23-year-old brother’s funeral – was recorded on YouTube, and ultimately led to Anne signing with Capitol Christian music.
Like all concerts in the Chevrolet Music Series, Anne’s performance is free with admission to the Fair.
