Alt-country artist, Star Anna, was born and raised in Ellensburg, Washington. After experimenting with different avenues of music, she ultimately found comfort in an acoustic guitar and her own words. She spent a few years playing coffee houses, sidewalks and campfires, building a small, but loving local fan base. In the summer of 2006, Star joined Travis, Frank and Corey to form The Laughing Dogs. In the summer of 2007, after losing their guitar player to a different calling, they were blessed with the phenomenal talents of Justin Davis.
