Annie Benjamin’s music is a lot like the weather in Texas…. unpredictable and constantly changing.
As a flautist and vocalist she has performed everything from country to classical, rock and roll to old timey gospel. As a performer, she feels at home on the theatrical stage, in concert halls and in piano bars and honky tonks. She has self produced three albums of original material and her music has been featured on NPR and in films and documentaries. In 2013, she and several of her colleagues at Dallas’ Echo Theatre received the Dallas Column Award for best new locally written play for The Echo Room Presents: “Her Song”, which went on to have five successful runs. She won the prestigious B.W. Stevenson Singer/Songwriter Contest in Dallas in 2017.
As a human committed to social justice, she performs in schools, at protest rallies and demonstrations, and in front of civic and business leaders. Annie believes passionately that the arts have the power to heal hearts and minds while inspiring to bring about social change. In 2020, her poetry was included in the book ENOUGH, “Say Their Names”… Messages from Ground Zero to the World, a collaboration of visual artists and poets reflecting on the Black LIves Matters Movement.
