Originally from Los Angeles, Anna grew up going to punk shows as a young teenager, and when her family moved to DC in the 1980s, she and her sister Cynthia became part of a small, nascent punk scene, which later became what everyone knows as \u201cDC punk rock.\u201d Anna spent many of her high school years working at a record store, buying records, and going to shows. Though many of her friends were in bands (Minor Threat practiced in the basement of her mom\u2019s house), she didn't feel a compulsion to play until much later in life, after she had kids and got divorced. Her first album After Thoughts is out now!  This is&amp;nbsp;the website&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;Beginnings,&amp;nbsp;subscribe on Apple Podcasts, follow me on&amp;nbsp;Twitter.
