Annie Dressner

A concert by singer-songwriter Annie Dressner, taking the album 'Trying to Be Cool' on tour, staged at The Grace in Highbury, London.

Annie Dressner is a singer-songwriter who originally comes from New York City and is now based in Cambridge, UK. Their music falls within blues, country and folk. The tour presents the latest album, 'Trying to Be Cool', which was produced by Peter Bruntnell. Marc Riley of BBC Radio 6 Music has spoken highly of the songs.

The writing pairs sharp humour and emotional directness with memorable melodies, and the lyrics rely on plain phrasing and clever wordplay. The vocals are described as lilting, and each song tells a story with close attention to detail, so the listener is drawn into the narrative.

The Grace is on Highbury Crescent in Highbury East, London, and mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music. The evening will suit listeners who follow lyric-led songwriting.
