Anne has performed at Festivals and clubs in Europe and North America, on countless theatre stages, at barn dances, fairs, in hospitals, churches, community centres, at gatherings large and gatherings small. Sometimes she is alone, sometimes with an accompanist, sometimes she leads a band. She fiddles – Irish, Scottish, French-Canadian, Metis, Klezmer, Bulgarian, a little swing. She sings original songs and old Canadian songs in English, French, Gaelic, occasionally in Yiddish, Macedonian or Ojibwe. She has pioneered her own special brand of singing and playing fiddle simultaneously. Sometimes she plays piano, accordion, long-necked mandolin, tenor guitar, bones, jaw harp and feet.

Anne has several thematic shows: Spirit of the Narrows (her journey into the world of Indigenous fiddling), Talamh an Eisc: Irish music in Canada (with Peter Jellard and Pat O'Gorman), Hardanger 5.0 (Anne's adventures in the world of Norwegian hardanger), and Stick Tales (stories, songs and tunes from a life in Canadian folk music, on voice, fiddle, feet, tenor guitar and more).
