The energy onstage with Anita and The Yanks is captivating as Anita
blends herself written lyrics with the expertise of her musicians
onstage. One knows she is Irish yet she doesn’t have to tell you, she
just is. But the music transcends being ethnic, it is a gypsy appeal

instruments which drive the songs. Anita is photogenic and she could

rocks her world.

Anita and the Yanks broke into the Celtic rock music scene in 2008 and
the band has built an impressive fan base in and around the LA/OC
area. Singer/songwriter Anita Mansfield and Bryan Dobbs, mandolin
player, started out as a duo and they picked up Ryan Dean (drums) Damon
Stout (bass) and Pat D’Arcy (uilleann pipes) along the way featuring
special guests Rachel Grace and Chris Loken, on violin at times.
