Annie Herring's music and ministry was, in no small part, forged from personal family tragedy.

Her brother and sister would often join in as she played, and eventually they developed extremely tight and intricate harmonies.

[3][4] As they gradually started singing for local coffee houses and small gatherings, they eventually gained the notice of Pat Boone who arranged a contract to record and release two singles with MGM, "Jesus Is" (1972) and "I'm So Happy" (1973).

[8][9] During that time she continued to receive songs and record solo albums, to which her siblings from 2nd Chapter often added backup vocals.

Though officially retired from touring, Annie continues to make music and minister privately, as well as take time for more relaxing pursuits such as learning to play golf.
