Annie & Rod Capps in Concert - Mary Dahl opens

“A musical ‘happy pill’ that once again realizes there is always a solution for a problem… Their creativity has an emotional depth comparable to work by the great ones!” – Bluestown Music

Over the years, Annie and Rod have done it all; from hard rock to musical theater. The 80’s and 90’s found them dividing their time between original projects and cover bands. “Foolish Mortals” (their longest-running and hardest-working cover band with a set list that included everything from The Pretenders and Sheryl Crow to Led Zepplin & Aerosmith) performed nearly every weekend in bars and pubs around the Detroit area. In the late 90’s, Annie picked up the guitar again and started writing.

The transition to “folk” was gradual but eventually, they shifted to acoustic instruments, away from the bars and into the coffee shops. It was through the open mic scene they found a new community and discovered a world of listening rooms. At this point, they were already seasoned performers and before long they developed a new fan base of people who WANTED to hear their original songs.

By 2003, they found a home at Big Sky Recording in Ann Arbor where they would record 6 of their next 7 albums.

Genuine and playful; effortless and endearing; this duo has been delighting audiences in quality music venues, house concerts, coffeehouses, and festivals throughout their home state of Michigan and beyond.

There is magic to this duo and we are so happy to have them back on our ACMA stage!
