Annie Dinerman

ANNIE DINERMAN Annie Dinerman is an award-winning singer-songwriter whose lyrics reveal a frank, funny and very female point of view. Women in her audience identify, and men want to be the man she writes about. Annie Dinerman walks in the footsteps of storytelling artists like Paul Simon and Wendy Waldman. Annie's singing voice will remind you of a young Carole King, but her warm, witty and womanly writer's voice is distinctly Dinerman.

Annie has completed recording her second CD, "Broken Cookies," produced by Steve Addabbo (Shawn Colvin, Suzanne Vega, Sonya Kitchell). The new CD will be released in June 2009. The twelve new songs include a collaboration between Addabbo and Dinerman. (TO HEAR ALL 12 MASTERED TRACKS, CLICK AUDIO ABOVE.) Except for a newly recorded version of the audience favorite "One Planet At A Time," all songs were written expressly for this CD. Annie's songs display her trademark wit and tender courage, as she shares in the same challenges facing many Americans right now: the stress of unemployment, the loss of friends to AIDS and 9/11, navigating the waters of affection and desire, and concern about our Environment.

Annie first found a large and loyal following for her original songs as a college student and then in Southwest Ohio coffeehouses. The only native Ohioan in a family of transplanted New Yorkers, she heard the artist's call and moved to New York to focus on songwriting. In June of 2006, Annie received the Abe Olman Award from Songwriters Hall of Fame, and made her debut at the Kerrville Folk Festival as a Music To Life Songwriting Contest finalist. In 2007, Annie was selected to perform in the DJ Invitational Showcase at the 2007 NERFA (Northeast Regional Folk Alliance) Conference in Monticello, New York, plus a live, streaming radio interview and performance at WJFF in Jeffersonville, New York. In February 2008, Annie proudly made her debut at Caffe Lena (Saratoga Springs, New York), America's oldest folk club, opening for featured act Christopher Shaw. In March 2008, Annie showcased at the Cape May Singer Songwriter Festival in Cape May, NJ, and in April 2008 to an SRO audience at The American Folk Art Museum (NYC). In May, June and October 2008, she performed at The Bitter End (NYC). In June 2008, she had the honor of opening for The Refugees (Wendy Waldman, Deborah Holland, Cindy Bullens) at the famed Hurdy Gurdy Folk Concert Series in Fair Lawn, NJ. In November 2008, Dinerman entertained at the closing awards ceremony of the Queens International Film Festival in New York City.
