The Basics --- Annie and Rod Capps craft modern day folk songs with a rootsy vibe, a touch of twang, and a soulful groove. Married for 13 years, and making music together for many more, the Capps have a sound that reflects their deep and intuitive understanding of each other. With her sweet, wry, perspective on things, Annie puts herself – and a host of other subjects – on a laboratory slide, peers in close, and makes discoveries that ring satisfyingly true. Rich melodies are delivered with a disarming, earthy voice and driven by tuneful picking - all punctuated seamlessly by Rod, who handles guitars, bass and the tenor banjo with equal grace.
"Annie and Rod Capps write complex, winding melodies that fit Annie's delicate voice perfectly. She sings with a relaxed, clean Midwestern twang, sliding you into the middle of lives and situations that are always interesting and dotted with real insight." – Dave Siglin, The Ark
The new CD --- "In This Town" is Annie and Rod Capps' fifth release and showcases Annie's most compelling songwriting to date. Since its release in July, more than 50 Folk DJs across the country and abroad have added The Capps' to their playlists. (See our website for complete list). The album appeared in the top 50 on the Folk Radio charts for several months in 2007, with the title track coming in at #3 in August and #38 for the Year. This cohesive collection of vignettes is told from the perspective of both observer and actor before backdrops ranging from a friendly town café to an empty house; a dark bar to a front porch; a jail cell to the wide open road. The result is a mélange of simple, evocative stories about familiar human emotions delivered with the appealing mixture of tenderness and sass that is signature Annie.
"Capps has a way of starting a song with an image that's simple, yet arresting enough to propel you through the ensuing developments, which often covers quite a bit of territory." -Jim Manheim, Ann Arbor Observer
Over the years, Annie and Rod have done it all; from rock to musical theater and while they continue to draw from a carpet bag of genres and influences, what comes out is a hybrid sound all their own. Genuine and playful; effortless and endearing; this duo has been enchanting audiences in quality music venues, house concerts, coffeehouses and festivals throughout their home state of Michigan and beyond.
"The audience is drawn in right from the beginning with Annie's amazing voice and the power of her songs. She has a way of making everyone in the venue feel like she is his or her personal friend." – Dave Rutkofske, Blue Water Folk Society (Thumbfest)
"When I look around the room at an Annie and Rod Capps performance, I see a lot of smiling faces with eyes riveted to the stage...there is a magic that energizes an audience. I can't wait to bring them back to our concert series!" - Tim Piazza, Concerts at the Cabin, Evansville, Indiana.
Plays Well With Others --- Annie and Rod have warmed up audiences for Lucy Kaplansky, Stacey Earle & Mark Stuart, Tracy Grammer & Jim Henry, The Kennedys, David Bromberg, Joe Jencks, Mustard's Retreat and many others.
Annie is a member of the Yellow Room Gang, a group of renowned singer/songwriters (www.yellowroomgang.com) who meet monthly to share food and new works in progress and perform together in various incarnations and venues. She is the co-founder of Songwriter's Anonymous, a networking collective of 40+ members of the local music community.
When they aren't busy making their own music, Annie and Rod are often called upon to play supporting roles for other artists. Both are featured on recordings by Allison Downey, The Milroys, Whit Hill, John Latini, Judy Insley, Dan Hazlett and several others.
