Anicee started painting at the age of three when she lived in Belize. Now Anicee is a bright, vivacious 11 year old who loves to paint. Her art has already wowed many, and has been prominently displayed in the Colorado State Capitol and other notable locations!

Among the truths we hold to be self-evident are these: Canadian bands can play their tails off, and they can also bring the funny. No outfit hailing from north of the border embodies these paired virtues more than the Barenaked Ladies, whose fusion of hooks and yuks has resulted in more than 14 million albums sold, as well as filling concert halls and amphitheaters around the world.

On the occasion of the band’s 25th anniversary, BNL are celebrating with new album, GRINNING STREAK. The album, the band’s twelfth, is their first in partnership with Vanguard Records after self-releasing their last four efforts.
