Miss Angie is a Christian music artist who released two albums on Myrrh Records, the final one in 1999. Her music was based in aggressive hard rock and pop sound[1] with a feel that was described as "retro-eclectic",[2] and vocals likened to those of Cyndi Lauper.[1] Her portrayed image, one of the strong female rock star, was unusual in Christian music,[3][4] but was offset by overtly Christian lyrics.

She signed with the Transform Music Group and released a new album, Time & Space, on July 26, 2011.[5]

The name Miss Angie was a compromise; at the time of recording her first album she knew that she was getting married, and so chose a name that was neutral with regard to that event.[4] Her birth name is Angie Turner, sister of Shawn Turner, who played guitar in Johnny Q. Public. The family had a background in Christian music ministry, and the siblings had grown up traveling with their father's Christian rock bands in a situation she later described as being "sort of like The Partridge Family."[6] She married Oran Thornton, also from Johnny Q. Public, in 1998. Oran went on to join the band Flick. They are no longer married. In a 2012 interview Miss Angie references her new husband Dave Darr who co-produced her single 'Restore'.[7]

On June 14, 2011, Miss Angie released a single off her tentative release with Transform Music Group called "Kick Drum". On April 10, 2012 she released a new single, "Restore", accompanied with a music video.[8]
