"Annagail is a band comprised of independent talents that have merged folk with modern. There is nothing stale here. It is all alive. From harmonies that hold their own melodies, to guitar riffs that dance across frets, while maintaining open arms to welcome each listener to find meaning and a temporary shelter in their songs. Their passion for life, love and
music, is the peaceful conductor of all they do."
