  HEADLINE - ANNIE STOKES:

  Annie Stokes is a dark Americana and folk singer-songwriter from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. After plying her trade for the better part of her twenties in various parts of central Virginia and the Shenandoah Mountains, the trajectory of her career changed with the 2021 release of her full-length album "The One That Gets Away", which earned a Washington Area Music Award for Best Country/Americana Album. She followed up that success with her 2023 EP "Wild Rose", produced by Grammy-member Austin Bello. In summer 2023, she toured the southeast and was featured on season 6 of The Martha Bassett Show.

  While the music industry pressures artists to fit themselves into a singular genre box, Annie's music stands out due to its fluidity. Described by one listener as "Alison Krauss meets NIck Cave", it embraces the threshold between classic and new, vintage and modern, timeless and very much of its time. Annie co-writes with her husband and bass player, Will Berger, with whom she's also raising two daughters.
