". . . the sisters are everywhere recently — and showing no signs of slowing as they carve out their own path in Oklahoma’s thriving Americana music scene." - The Daily Oklahoman
". . . a pair of intertwining crystalline pure voices. It would be natural to speculate that the sibling connection contributes to the preternaturally attractive vocal harmonizing. Whatever the wellspring of this talent, it’s a beautiful thing to hear." - The Norman Transcript
"I have had some truly talented performers on my stages over the years, but I have to say that Sophia and Grace are exceptional. Their voices are perfectly matched for harmonies. The original music was top notch. Their stage presence and their ability to connect with the audience was beyond what would be expected from anyone their age." - Bob Warterfield
" . . . an Americana, indie-folk sound with compelling harmonies straight from the heart." - Uncovering Oklahoma
"They are both whip-smart, wise-beyond-their-years songwriters speaking the same throwback folk-Americana language that eludes most others at their tender age of 17, their pristine but pillow-soft voices folding into immaculate harmonies to the envy of even the most vetted musical collaborators out there. And as identical twins, that just so happens to manifest itself physically, too." - The Oklahoma Gazette
"Norman songwriters Grace Babb and Sophia Babb were named SWAN Rising Star award winners for showing considerable individual development [...] growth, and musicianship." - The Norman Transcript

Bio
Annie Oakley is an Oklahoma City-based folk-rock, Americana band fronted by twin sisters Sophia and Grace Babb. Known for flawless vocal harmonies and sharply observant lyrics, the sisters have been creating a stir in Oklahoma’s nationally respected indie music scene. They exude confidence through a sophisticated stage presence yet connect with the audience as with personal friends.
Joined with the harmonies and violin of Nia Personette, the trio of women have blazed through the Midwest with their stories and songs to guide them.
The Oklahoma Gazette wrote of the prodigious duo as “speaking the same throwback folk-Americana language that eludes most others at their tender age [ . . . ] their pristine but pillow-soft voices folding into immaculate harmonies the envy of even the most vetted musical collaborators out there” (Joshua Boydston).
“These sisters harmonize like fresh made bread and home churned butter, sweetened with just a touch of molasses. I hear strains of Mindy Smith here, and the comparisons could go on. But why make comparisons when you can just listen to them? To see and hear such magic when it first comes to bloom, to watch it grow and spread smiles and wonder across a wider world is indeed a privilege and pleasure. Don't miss them when they come to your area!” (Rick Reiley).
