The Annie Moses Band Comes to The Ware Center, 5/24

The Ware Center kicked-off its second year last September with a concert by country great, grammy-winner John Berry. Now over 300 performances later, it is fitting then, that the Ware & Winter Centers of Millersville University should end their 2012-13 Season with another stellar musical group - one that offers a unique style of pop, jazz, Celtic and classical music with a contemporary influence -- The Annie Moses Band. The band, who recently debuted at the Grand Old Opry to a standing ovation, is composed of six siblings - all Juilliard-trained musicians -- with their parents spearheading the lyrics and arrangements. The Annie Moses Band will perform on Friday, May 24, 2013 at 7:30 PM at The Ware Center, 42 North Prince Street, Lancaster, PA.

The family of eight tours America frequently, each of the six children playing a musical instrument - virtually every stringed instrument found in an orchestra. The lead singer's voice, clear and beautiful, is a mixture of Dolly Parton and Celtic Woman. As a whole, the family has earned numerous awards and achievements - including a Billboard Top Ten Award -- that testify to the depth of each member's artistic ability.

Pilgrims & Prodigals, the band's first commercial release, is based on the idea that everyone in the world is going somewhere," observes Alex, who for the first time shares lead vocalist duties with his sister Annie. "We're all on a personal journey. We are all either someone who's finding our way back home or we're someone who's running away from home. Every song on this album tells one of those two stories."

Says Alex, "I think that whenever you start a project, there's a kind of surge that happens artistically and creatively, and I think we all definitely had that in creating this album." Adds Annie, "Even though our band started 10 years ago, this really is our first release. I feel in some ways it's a springboard into the next place, into the next chapter of our life. And that's very exciting!"
