Singer-songwriter Megan Bee writes with an unquenchable wanderlust and a deep love for the land. Her album “Cottonwood” has been called “as real as it gets” and was listed in the best of 2022 by Americana UK and No Depression Magazine. Her music is a blend of distinctly homespun vocals, acoustic simplicity, yearning soulfulness, and winsome storytelling. Her background as an environmental educator, farmhand, and vagabond once took her into a desert wilderness where she found her voice around a campfire. She bases in the rolling hills of Athens, Ohio and draws influence from the collision of Appalachian folk and modern songwriting. With her sweet, wry perspective on things, Annie puts herself – and a host of other subjects – on a laboratory slide, peers in close and makes discoveries that ring satisfyingly true, winning over audiences and earning a host of Detroit Music Award nominations over the years. “Capps has a way of starting a song with an image that’s simple, yet arresting enough to propel you through the ensuing developments, which often covers quite a bit of territory.” – Jim Manheim, Ann Arbor Observer. “[Annie] sings with a relaxed, clean Midwestern twang, sliding you into the middle of lives and situations that are always interesting and dotted with real insight.” – Dave Siglin, The Ark Born in Detroit, Michigan as one of 10 children, Mary Hartman’s love of music began at an early age. She ordered her first guitar from a Sears catalog at the age of 14 and never looked back. She honed her Songwriting skills day after day, night after night, in her bedroom on the 3rd floor of their big, old house. Her Dad worked in a Auto Factory as an electrician and her Mom stayed at home taking care of their large family. Many of her songs come from her upbringing in a blue collar, hardworking, Church on Sunday Family. She ended up in Nashville after raising her own family, 2 beautiful daughters. She lived in Nashville for 15 years writing and playing in some of the best Songwriter Rounds with some of the most talented Songwriters in Nashville. She has played the World Famous Bluebird Cafe, Tootsies Orchid Lounge, The Nashville Palace, Douglas Corner, The Listening Room, The Tin Roof, The Commodore and many more. She has even had her song pitched on Music Row and still does today.
