Get ready to move – Annie and the Caldwells () are coming to the AMFA stage this Thursday, September 3 🎶

Led by Mississippi matriarch Ms. Annie Caldwell and backed by her husband, children, and goddaughter, Annie and the Caldwells deliver a powerful blend of disco, soul, and gospel.

Their latest album, "Can’t Lose My (Soul)," has been hailed as a modern gospel landmark, with The Guardian calling it “a masterpiece to drag you out of despair.”

Circle Society Donors, Corporate Partners, and Season Ticket Holders enjoy access to a pre-concert lounge with complimentary beer and wine.
