The First Time
Anita Athavale
Drawing comparisons to Sarah Harmer and even Tori Amos (Athavales Debut) is filled not with heartbreak songs of the usual sensitive-singer-songwrites;she draws from personal experiences with a wisdom that belies her tender age. -(Edmonton Sun)

Description
In 2002, Anita Athavale released the acoustic album The First Time. That album sparked interest from major labels, and was included on the U.S. publication JANE magazines CD compilation (which featured acclaimed artists such as New Order and Kasey Chambers), as well as being one of most played albums on Canadian college radio that year.
Making The First Time was a huge learning experience. I only saved enough funds to record my voice and my acoustic so all things considered, it represents exactly how raw I sounded at the time. I was surprised at the positive response. I thought I just made a calling card album but it turns out that I had made an album people are still talking about. That said, it sort of makes up for the week we spent in that garage-become-studio setup with no heat...
Anita Athavale followed up the release of that album by touring Canada, sharing the stage with: Kathleen Edwards, Jason Colette, Danny Michel, Martina Sorbara, and the Cash Brothers. Getting the chance to showcase in Toronto and co-write as well, Anita crafted songs with Tom Wilson (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings), Andrew Cash (Cash Brothers) and Russell Broom (Jann Arden). Anita has since been a showcase guest at the Alberta Songwriters Series and has also been featured on CBC and CKUA radio.
