THEIR UNIQUE CLASSICALCROSSOVER, GENRE-DEFYING SOUND AMAZES AUDIENCES ACROSS THE COUNTRY and has
allowed the Annie Moses Band to grace the famous stages of Carnegie Hall and the Grand Old Opry. Named after their great-grandmother, Annie Moses, Annie Wolaver Dupre acknowledges that the ensemble of siblings has deep musical roots. “She started a legacy in our family of faith and music by investing in the talents of our grandmother, Jane, and Jane had a passion for music which she passed on to our mother, Robin. Our parents in turn passed it on to us,” Annie says. “Our parents are award-winning songwriters here in Nashville, and they started us on instruments very young, really without any intention of having a family band but with the simple intention of equipping their children with the spiritual discipline of music. They are powerful communicators of the Kingdom, and that’s how the Annie Moses Band was born.” Growing up together, the ensemble naturally played and performed together; however, they truly started considering pursuing their passions as a career while studying at the Julliard School in New York. “We found that people loved the uniqueness of what we were doing. Stylistically it was very unique and defied a lot of genres. Then, the people were just inspired by the story. The fact that we were a family and that in the music in the Annie Moses Band people were experiencing excellence, joy, and seeing a family work together,” Annie adds. “The fact that people were experiencing energy and what the Annie Moses Band was about. But it also drew them deeper into this theme of legacy, excellence and investing in your children. Those things were points of inspiration for the audience.”
