OFFICIAL WEBSITE - Annie Dinerman
ANNIE DINERMAN is an award-winning singer-songwriter with a frank, funny and very female point of view. She 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 Dinerman has just finished recording her second independent CD, "Broken Cookies", with noted producer Steve Addabbo (Shawn Colvin, Susanne Vega, Julia Douglass). Twelve original songs, including "Broken Cookies", a collaboration with Addabbo, will be released in November 2008. Fans can expect more emotional lyrics, edgier, more immediate singing, and an intimate glimpse into Annie's life in the past year. In May of 2007, she received a grant from the Anna Sosenko Assist Trust to cover some recording expenses for this CD.

Annie first found a large and loyal following for her original songs as a student at Bowling Green State University, and next 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 concentrate 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 songwriting contest finalist. In 2008, Annie has performed several shows at The Bitter End, a showcase at the Cape May Singer Songwriter Festival (Cape May, NJ), and the Dance Flurry Festival and the historical Caffe Lena (Saratoga, NY). in 2007, she was presented in the DJ Invitational Showcase at the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance Conference in Monticello, New York.
