on tulsa's horton records
TULSA, Okla. July 30, 2018 – Oklahoma City-based indie-folk group Annie Oakley announces a global release date of October 12 for the trio’s full-length, debut album Words We Mean via Tulsa’s Horton Records. The first single “Did You Dream” will be released digitally on Friday, August 10 with an exclusive premiere at The Alternate Root Magazine.
Kickstarter supporter shows will be held on Friday, August 17 at Oklahoma City’s The Blue Door (tickets at ticketstorm.com)
and Saturday, August 18 at Tulsa’s Woody Guthrie Center (tickets at Eventbrite.com).
“This album is the culmination of a lot of hard work and perseverance, and we think people are going to be blown away by the lyrical depth, beautiful harmonies and dynamic song craft,” says Brian Horton, President of the nonprofit Horton Records.
In the works for three years, Annie Oakley’s Words We Mean follows the all-girl band from youth to womanhood through songs with remarkable artistic range. Immaculate vocal harmonies and sharply observant lyrics embody themes of grief, recovery, wistful regrets, misplaced hopes, and new love in this much-anticipated release. This award-winning band is fronted by twin sisters Sophia and Grace Babb on rhythm and lead guitars and vocals, with Nia Personette on violin and third-part harmony. “Official Showcase Artists” at Folk Alliance International in 2017, the trio toured on weekends and breaks from college. University seniors who plan to tour full-time nationally and internationally in 2019-20, Annie Oakley plays regularly to sold-out crowds throughout the Midwest and on both coasts.
