SUMMARY:Concert Series: Annie and the Caldwells
DESCRIPTION:Annie and the Caldwells are a family from Mississippi that plays a powerful disco soul\, led by mother Ms. Annie Caldwell. Their music will not only move you spiritually\, but emotionally\, with songs that are as much at home in a church or a dance floor. \nTheir latest album Can’t Lose My (Soul) has been hailed by critics as a modern gospel landmark\, blending sacred tradition with raw\, contemporary energy. The Guardian called it “a masterpiece to drag you out of despair\,” while Popmatters said it “transcend(ed) time\, place\, and — on occasion — even the most unshakable atheism” and MOJO said it “may just get you through any darkness looming on the horizon…or simply get you dancing.” \nMs. Annie is backed by daughters Deborah and Anjessica\, and goddaughter Toni Rivers; their eldest son Willie Jr. is on the bass and youngest son Abel Aquirius is on the drums. Their father and Annie’s husband of the last fifty years\, Willie Joe Caldwell\, Sr.\, is on guitar. \nSeason Ticket Holders\, Circle Society Donors\, and Corporate Partners enjoy access to an exclusive lounge before the show with complimentary drinks and a special performance by Broadway star Fergie L. Philippe. \n\nThe 2026-2027 Concert Series is supported in part by Mary Ann Coleman\, Mimi San Pedro\, Olivia Farrell\, and Susan Conley; Metal Recycling Corporation; the Partnership for Community Enrichment with Gael Downs Hees and Randy Hees; and an anonymous donor.
