The eclectic style of Christian singer/songwriter Annie Benedict has produced a debut album that stretches from her Gospel roots to her love of R&B/Blues and Rock. Each original song on “Quiet the Stones” comes from a personal story, showing the joy that comes from knowing God, or the pain felt without Him. This album is for all of us who wanna celebrate our salvation, and reach out to people who are hurting now . Annie's influences include Paula Cole, Aretha Franklin, Sarah McLaughlin, U2, Ella Fitzgerald, Wynona, MaryMary, S.R.V. and John Lee Hooker. She sweeps you in with powerful vocals, sensitive phrasing, and sometimes a cheeky delivery.
