Live Entertainment featuring recording artists ANNIE & ROD CAPPS
The Basics --- Annie and Rod Capps craft country-flavored folk songs with a rootsy vibe, a touch of twang, and a soulful groove. Married since 1994, and making music together since the 80s, 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, Folk DJs across the country and abroad have added The Capps' to their playlists placing it in the top 40 on the Folk Radio charts for 2007, with the title track reaching #3 (Aug '07). It's a cohesive collection of vignettes 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.
