Live music in Jacksonville, AR

Annie and the Caldwells deliver a high-energy blend of disco and soul from a tight-knit Mississippi family led by Ms. Annie Caldwell. Their songs are crafted to lift the spirit and touch the heart, equally at home in a place of worship or on a lively dance floor. Their latest album, Can’t Lose My (Soul), earned broad praise as a standout in contemporary gospel, with The Guardian, PopMatters, and MOJO noting its power to inspire, transcend boundaries, and get audiences moving. Onstage, Ms. Annie is joined by daughters Deborah and Anjessica and goddaughter Toni Rivers, with eldest son Willie Jr. on bass, youngest son Abel Aquirius on drums, and her husband of fifty years, Willie Joe Caldwell Sr., on guitar. Season ticket holders, Circle Society donors, and corporate partners have access to a pre-show lounge with complimentary drinks and a special appearance by Broadway star Fergie L. Philippe. This concert series receives support from Mary Ann Coleman, Mimi San Pedro, Olivia Farrell, Susan Conley, and the Partnership for Community Enrichment with Gael Downs Hees and Randy Hees.
