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. A warm, earthy voice carries her rich and captivating melodies that are punctuated beautifully by the guitar work of husband, Rod Capps, who handles both electric and acoustic and the tenor banjo with equal rootsy grace. 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. They create “midwest urban folk” music that is both sophisticated and disarming - offering thoughtful, somber, tender and frisky songs that have at their core a warm, funky groove and a soulful glow.

Just released in August 2009, Annie and Rod Capps' sixth CD, “My Blue Garden”, finds them at their absolute best. The album became a quick favorite of many folk DJs placing it at #2 on the charts with both the #1 and #3 songs for the month. It remains in regular rotation earning them yet another top 40 album this time in 2009. Seeded with fresh, beautifully crafted songwriting, "My Blue Garden" is a collage of soulful sketches rooted in small town USA, where familiar and accessible characters might be your next door neighbor, a member of the family or a close friend. Co-produced by Glenn Brown (Jeff Daniels, Rachael Davis, Steppin in it) this album features an essential cast of some of Michigan’s finest musicians most prominently, Jason Dennie, a regular addition to their live shows, on virtuoso mandolin and sweet harmony vocals. Drew Howard soars on pedal steel and dobro, and the angelic voices of Rachael Davis and Jan Krist are high points.

Annie is also a member of the Yellow Room Gang, a songwriting collective that features some of Michigan's finest songwriters.  She is also one of the founders of Songwriters Anonymous, a songwriting collective of over 40 Michigan based artists.
