Annick Odom is a Belgian-American multi-instrumentalist, folk musician, improviser, and composer whose work often blends the rich traditions of Appalachian music with contemporary influences.With a unique musical voice that draws from folk traditions, improvisation and modern chamber music, Odom’s performances reflect her deep connection to storytelling through music.

 

As a solo artist, she captivates audiences with performances that feature traditional West Virginian ballads, original compositions, and newly commissioned works by her favorite composers. Her innovative approach incorporates elements of improvisation and storytelling, often enhanced by the use of "crankies"—hand-cranked moving panoramas that bring her stories to life visually. She has performed nationally and internationally, earning praise for her ability to push the boundaries of old-time music while honoring its deep roots. Notable performances include her original compositions at the MGSO at the University of Pittsburgh, She Scores Festival in Cleveland, and at the Third Place Festival in Ann Arbor. She has also performed internationally, gracing the stages of the Rotterdam Bluegrass Festival in the Netherlands and the International Society of Bassists Convention.

 

Odom has been a featured performer at Free Fall Improvisers Orchestra at REWIRE Festival in Den Haag, Oh My Ears! Festival & Black House Ensemble in Phoenix, the WestBen Performer-Composer Residency, the Nief-Norf New Music Festival, and the LABO Montreal Contemporary Music Festival. In

addition, she was selected as a composer-performer fellow at the Darmstadt Summer Festival in Germany and the Ensemble Evolution Residency at the Banff Center for the Arts in Canada. She has been commissioned for a Digital Duo's Mini-Commission for Joe's Pub​​
