Magic at HollerFest

The fest is now over but we are all still groovin on the spectacular things that happened. Music, art, great people and yes, even a strong vibe of LOVE in the air. I did not still think that was possible but it happened.
It so moved my partner in broadcasting that he reviewed it for the Ann Arbor.com group and I cant add anything that is significant.
Be sure to catch it cause I cant copy it yet.
New pics will be on the HollerFest webpage soon at www.hollerfest.com

Ken King is a luck man to have so many great friends.

Johnny’s Speakeasy is a great place to see a show. In the former apple cellar and speakeasy, music is king ,and Johnny is the reigning Prince of genial hosts, making folks feel at home and talking to everyone as though he has known them for 20 years.

Here was the perfect place to have Annie and Rod Capps stage the release party for their sixth album, “MY BLUE GARDEN”. Along with steel guitar master Drew Howard (Capt. Midnight), Tommy Emmanuel rival Jason Dennie, and singer, Christine Schinker doing harmonies, the packed crowd was treated to the incredible prospect of a 2 hour and twenty minute extravaganza of music from one of Americas fast rising composers, Annie Capps.
It used to be in the old days, say 5 years ago, that you could say,” Lets go somewhere tonight. Annie and Rod are playing at…insert any number of places” and that would be that. A good time, great music and jaw dropping guitar work from Rod Capps all to be seen in a local haunt. But with the release of “IN THIS TOWN” two years ago Annie Capps took a giant leap into real, solid, introspective, tear your heart out, song writing. The shows still were the same breezy, happy, magical things that they were, with Annie the Master of the live show, holding forth for her friends. But now the music and the lyrics and the delivery were several notches higher. The depth of the words were far deeper and, if possible, Rod’s guitar arrangements, even more melodic and captivating.
MY BLUE GARDEN is a ten song extension of this charge on the music scene. Some of the songs have been performed with The Yellow Room Gang, and most have found their way into the live shows. “Honey, Sugar, Baby, Mine” and Crocodile Man” by Dave Carter are the most tuneful and fun but the other offerings, especially” Sherriff’s Daughter” show Annie Capps at her best. On a par with “In This Town” it will become the most played song on the CD in my opinion.
The new CD is released in July and is available at CD BABY or at www.annieandrodcapps.com.
Get the CD now and see them while you still can. Ann Arbor has lost The Hummingbirds, Al & Whit Hill and Luke Sayers in the last few years. Nashville is not that far away for the Capps and somehow a visit will not be the same as having them here in our town so we can say on any old night, “Let’s go somewhere tonight. Annie and Rod are playing at……. “
