UNITY — Saskatchewan-born, Brooklyn-based folk troubadour Ana Egge isn’t your run-of-the-mill alternative-country singer. Using unique production and rock-based chord progressions, she has made a name for herself as a Gillian Welch figure with a rocker attitude.

Egge, who has toured and shared the stage with Lucinda Williams, John Prine, Shawn Colvin, Richard Thompson and George Jones, will take the stage at the Unity Centre for the Performing Arts on Friday, Jan. 13.

Her recent 12-song record, “Bad Blood,” produced by Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Steve Earle, was released on Aug. 23 via Ammal records.

“Ana Egge’s songs are low and lonesome, big square-stare noir ballads which she plays on a guitar she built with her own two hands and sings like she’s telling us her deepest, darkest secrets,” Earle said.

The concert is at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, $15, may be purchased at www.unityme.org.
