Annie Dinerman is an award-winning Contemporary Folk Singer-Songwriter whose lyrics reveal a funny, frank and very female point of view. Annie's second independent CD, "Broken Cookies," was produced by Steve Addabbo (Shawn Colvin, Suzanne Vega, Sonya Kitchell). Annie wrote the title tune, "Broken Cookies" with producer Steve Addabbo. Addabbo plays lead guitar and bass on nearly all 12 songs. Other players include Denny McDermott (drums), Rex Benincasa (percussion), George Wurzbach (piano) and Tom Welsch (bass). Unemployment, Romance during the Recession, and saving our Environment are some of the themes Dinerman tackles with humor and without frills.

Annie Dinerman received a grant in May 2007 from the Anna Sosenko Assist Trust, to cover some recording expenses for her second CD, "Broken Cookies," produced by Steve Addabbo (see above). Anna Sosenko was a noted producer and composer, best known for writing the 1935 hit, “Darling Je Vous Aime Beaucoup”.

In 2006, Annie received the Abe Olman Scholarship for Excellence in Songwriting from Songwriters Hall of Fame. The award is given by the Songwriters Hall Of Fame. Veteran hit songwriter Hal David of SHOF held a master class on that evening for about 25 songwriters. To see Annie talk with Hal about one of his earliest hits, CLICK VIDEOS under Annie's photo (top left side of this page).

Annie's environmental song, "One Planet At A Time", was released on a compilation CD in December 2006 by The Public Domain Foundation, a project of Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul and Mary). From over 170 submissions, 11 songs were chosen to appear on the CD which salutes songs for social change. As a finalist, Annie sang her song at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. Annie hired Rex Benincasa to "play garbage" on this environmental song, and he did: pill bottles and soup cans and pizza boxes combine to create a fun and chunky World Music groove.CLICK HERE to read about the 2006 Music To Life compilation CD.
