Mitten Smitten is a six-concert series featuring Michigan’s vibrant music scene. This is a collaboration between Crooked Tree Arts Center and Blissfest Music Organization.
Annie Capps & a Badass Band of Women
Chelsea-based singer/songwriter/performer Annie Capps celebrates the release of her ninth recording and first solo album, “How Can I Say This”. The album features 12 original songs written by Annie representing what she calls “a love letter to my younger self” exploring topics of self-discovery, shame, learning, forgiveness, grief, and strength. Proudly featuring a supporting cast of over 40 women musicians spanning the U.S. and into Canada, “How Can I Say This” was recorded, produced, and performed by an impressive batch of A-listers, whose exceptional talents contributed to the sonically lush, emotionally charged arrangements. You can see that complete list and read more about the project at https://howcanisaythis.net. In solidarity with the way it was created, for this concert, Annie has assembled an all-women band – some of whom performed on the album and others who are adding their own spin to the songs just for this show! The all-star band features Fay Burns on guitar, Katelynn Corll on electric bass, Telisha Williams (Wild Ponies) on Acoustic Bass, Carolyn Koebel on drums/percussion, Cori Somers on Violin, Annie Bacon and Robin Lee Berry on vocals.

Their storytelling lyrics give you a glimpse into their lives and leave you feeling like you walked through these times by their side. The Keynote Sisters are avid songwriters and have no intention of taking their foot off the gas any time soon.
