Ann Kerstetter exploded onto the Central Susquehanna Valley music scene in 1969. At the tender age of 16 she was the lead singer for the Sunbury based "Crosstown Bus". At that time, Ann was only female singer to front a rock band in the area. Ann and the Crosstown Bus performed the Harrisburg, Lancaster and Central Susquehanna Valley circuit until 1983. After time out to raise her son, Ann is back, and better than ever.

Singers are born, not made, and this born singer has a penchant for Jazz and Blues and a hunger for good ole Rock n' Roll. Ann Kerstetter transports you through a wide range of emotions. In the space of a few measures, her throaty voice can slide from soft and sensuous to a deep and raspy full throttle. Count on it: Ann takes you where the music needs you to go.

Upon returning to the music scene in 2007, Ann teamed up with a “Who’s Who” of Pennsylvania blues and jazz musicians to form "The Ann Kerstetter Band".  The Ann Kerstetter  Band competed and won the Billtown Blues Society IBC Challenge in 2008. The Band went on to open the 20th Billtown Blues Festival and were named semifinalist at the 2009 IBC Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee.

In the same year The Ann Kerstetter Band released “Classics”   a collection of blues and jazz favorites for which Ann and the band received  “a thumbs up” review from Blues Revue.  (See Reviews)

Ann’s second CD, “Duke Street Diary” is a collection of original compositions by Ann and band mates Andy Seal and Greg Burgess.  It also includes covers of Ann Rabson’s “ Annie’s Blues ” and EG Kight’s  “ If You Ever Touch Me”. “Duke Street Diary” was named an IBC Semifinalist for Best Self Produced CD of 2010.

Ann currently performs with various Central PA. Musical standouts as well as with her newly formed “All Star Band of Cronies”.  The Cronies offer a wide variety of musical styles fronted by Ann Kerstetter, a woman driven to entertain her audience.
