Biography

ANNIE DINERMAN is an award-winning singer-songwriter whose lyrics reveal a funny, frank and very female point of view. Annie walks in the footsteps of storytelling artists like Paul Simon and Wendy Waldman. Her singing voice may remind you of a young Carole King, but her warm, witty and womanly writer’s voice is distinctly Dinerman.

Her inimitable style as a lyricist is equally influenced by anonymous, enduring folksongs and her father’s huge collection of Sinatra records. Annie first found a large and loyal following as a college student, and later 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. In June 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, Dinerman received a grant from the Anna Sosenko Assist Trust, and was presented in the NERFA DJ Showcase. In 2008, she performed in the Hurdy Gurdy Folk Concert Series and made her debut at Caffé Lena. Annie Dinerman’s second independent CD, “Broken Cookies”, was produced by Steve Addabbo (Shawn Colvin, Suzanne Vega, Sonya Kitchell). Release Date: September 1, 2009.

There are over 30 covers of Annie Dinerman’s songs, including “Child In Me Again”, recorded by Kathie Lee Gifford on her “Born For You” CD (2000). The CD hit three Billboard charts, notably #1 on Billboard Heatseekers.
