Anna Zinova / Shine Sweet Moon Anna Zinova / Shine Sweet Moon
Songstress Anna Zinova returns to San Diego for a string of dates in November with her new duo, Shine Sweet Moon. Zinova’s new project sees her teaming up with Denver based Mookie Mcfierson, with her other project, Pinkeye, still an ongoing concern. “I’ve been living in a van on and off again since 2021 and have mostly been in CO for the last year and a half,” said Zinova, who was born and raised in Oceanside. What inspired this new duo? “Traveling and playing alone is fun, playing music with Mook-
ie is more fun.,” said Zinova. “We met at an open mic in Denver and I immediately knew I wanted to play music with him. Then it turned out he had a bus he was slowly working on converting, so we decided to team up. I started helping him build out his bus, and we started working on music together.” She notes the differences between Shine Sweet Moon and Pinkeye. “Pinkeye is where my big, loud, raucous side comes out to play, and I will always love and treasure that. Shine
Sweet Moon gives me an outlet for the softer, more peaceful side of me that has developed over the years, while still allowing me to push boundaries in melody and time.” There is also different instrumentation to consider. “While in Pinkeye I am the lead singer/songwriter and rhythm guitarist, in Shine Sweet Moon I get to do some of that and I also get to play violin (which I absolutely love doing) and do backing vocals to Mookie’s songs, which are beautiful, both lyrically and musically. I’m also excited
