Annie and Rod Capps

About Me

Annie and Rod Capps are a singer/songwriter duo, with a rootsy vibe, a touch of twang, and a soulful groove. Genuine; effortless and endearing; they’ve been enchanting audiences in quality music venues, house concerts, coffeehouses and festivals throughout the Midwest and beyond, making a name for themselves as one of Michigan's top performing artists.

"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 Capps are wrapping up the production of their 6th record "My Blue Garden" with Lansing producer, Glenn Brown (Steppin’ in it, Rachael Davis, Jeff Daniels…)This new collection of poignant, thought-provoking portraits, is backed up by a top-shelf ensemble of some of the finest Michigan artists.

2007's, "In This Town" is Annie and Rod Capps' fifth independent release. It garnered favorable reviews from press and Folk DJs across the country and abroad earning it a spot in the top 40 on the Folk Radio charts for 2007, with the title track reaching 3.

"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.
