"When the pandemic hit we found ourselves at home with a lot of time together. We had long wanted to collect in one place our lyrics, monologues, essays and photographs, chronicling our 30-plus years of performing and songwriting. With this new project, we wanted to create a colorful, entertaining, and reflective storybook that you could hold in your hands. Songs have lives. Our purpose here is to tell the story of those lives - how they came into being and the roads they've traveled. This book is dedicated to all song lovers." ~ Anya & Robert
Anya Turner & Robert Grusecki have written and recorded seven CDs, published six songbooks, starred in the Off-Broadway musicals "Greetings From Yorkville" and "After All", are two-time finalists for the Richard Rodgers Award, and are recipients of the "Bistro" Award for outstanding songwriting. In addition to their own performances, their work has been covered by many singers including Donna McKechnie, Karen Akers, Steve Ross, and television comedienne Kathy Kinney.
"Turner and Grusecki have been ardently creating content since the first week of quarantine and never fail in their efforts." ~ Broadway World
