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. Childhood hours spent lying on the living room rug, poring over traditional folksong books, prompted Annie to walk 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.

Dinerman's song, "Single Woman", was inspired by Laura Nyro's song, "Lonely Women", and by Burt Bacharach and Hal David's song, "Walk On By". The horn in the introduction to Annie's recording of the song, on her 2006 debut indie CD, "1,001 American Nights", echoes the horn on Dionne Warwicke's recording of "Walk On By". "Single Woman" explores the ambivalence of a young woman who begins a new romance and weighs the value of her independence against the sensual and emotional pleasures of a love relationship. Lyrics can be found at Ms. Dinerman's website (see links below).

The only native Ohioan in a family of transplanted New Yorkers, Annie Dinerman 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 May 2007, Annie received a grant from the Anna Sosenko Assist Trust for recording expenses for her second CD, currently being produced by Steve Addabbo (Susanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, Sonya Kitchell).

Annie’s song “Child In Me Again” (heard on this CD), was recorded by Kathie Gifford on her “Born For You” CD (2000). Gifford's CD hit three Billboard charts: #1 on Heatseekers, #6 on Top Contemporary Christian, and #139 on Top 200.
