ANNA NALICK GETS SURREAL PUSH FROM ROB THOMAS

Anna Nalick’s album Wreck Of The Day is nearly a year old, and she’s garnered Top 40 play and placement in several TV shows including “Grey’s Anatomy” which used “Breathe(2AM)” in one scene that made her cry. She’s had a whirlwind year on tour and with promotion for the album.

So what’s been the most surreal moment of the whole experience? She said it was performing one of her favorite songs with tourmate, Rob Thomas, also of Matchbox Twenty fame.

“One that stands out is I sing “Push” out on stage with Rob Thomas sometimes. We toured together for a couple of months, and it was really fun. He treated me like a princess, and every night he would call me up on stage to sing that song with him. And as I’m singing I’d be thinking about when I was in Junior High School when I was fourteen and thinking, ‘Man, if I could just write a song like ‘Push’ then my teachers would probably like me more and this boy that I have a crush on would like me back and all these things. And I listen to that song, and it was such an inspiration. It was so good. To hear the song, still, captures a moment in my life, and then to be onstage with the person with the guy who wrote it and singing that song is…it’s just unreal.”

Anna Nalick is still supporting her album Wreck Of The Day, and she’s released a brand new single, “In The Rough.” She’ll be on tour through April 9 in San Francisco.
