The Hootin' Annies are a group of 5 women with varied musical backgrounds. We got to know each other at various Bluegrass clubs, and by a chance meeting in an elevator at Hallmark Cards, where 4 of the 5 are employed.

Together, they have been performing since 2003 at Bluegrass festivals, Bluegrass clubs, private parties, and have headlined the Rural Grit Happy Hour at the legendary Kansas City Blues club, The Grand Emporium, as well as Kansas City's Monday Home of Bluegrass, The Brick.

What favorite all-woman band was nominated in six Bluegrass categories in the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music-(Midwest)?

The Annies seem to find a new group of fans wherever they play.  Here's what the Kansas Prairie Pickers Association said after their perfomrance at the Prairie Lake Pickin' Party:

"There was lots of excitement in the air and all of a sudden the pace quickened. The shows started off with a new group to Prairie Lake: The Hootin' Annies. This is an all female group from the Kansas City area full of energy and lots of talent. We certainly hope they will continue to come to the festival and add their part to the line up."

Ah, gee, guys.  Sure, we'll play another one.
