Annagail has always defied and stretched genres, equal parts singer/songwriters and rock band. Thinking man ’s Americana. Pop for philosophers? Country for the curious? Rock for the recluse? Whatever you call them, Annagail weave heartache and hope for the disillusioned.

“…[A] fellow is more afraid of the trouble he might have than he ever is of the trouble he’s got. He’ll cling to trouble he’s used to before he’ll risk a change. Yes, a man will talk about how he’d like to escape from living folks. But it’s the dead ones that lay quiet in one place and don’t try to hold him, that he can’t escape from.”
—William Faulkner, Light in August
“Are ye of the living or of the dead?”
