Anna Erhard

Anna Erhard is a European indie pop act whose songs combine distorted guitars and lo-fi keyboards with observational storytelling. The project plays Band On The Wall, a concert and performance venue in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

Anna Erhard's music sits between the relaxed approach of Kurt Vile and the playful inventiveness of early Beck. Distorted guitars and lo-fi keyboards carry songs that draw on everyday observations, journeys and chance encounters. The third studio album, Botanical Garden, released in 2024, received wide acclaim across Europe.

Following that release, the act toured the UK and played widely on the continent, appearing at Glastonbury Festival. BBC 6 Music gave strong support, with heavy rotation airplay and several live sessions, one of them recorded at Maida Vale Studios in London. The newer song 1000 Sheep previews a forthcoming album. Its story grew from a brief meeting with a shepherd on a farm during a day off, then embellished during long drives between shows.

Band On The Wall is a concert and performance venue at 25 Swan Street in the Northern Quarter. The evening suits listeners drawn to guitar-based indie pop and to songwriting built on small, specific moments.
