Annie Dressner

Good to know

New York–born and Cambridge‑based, Annie Dressner blends razor‑sharp wit, emotional punch and gorgeous melodies into indie‑folk songs that stay with you. With four albums behind her and strong BBC 6 Music support — including Marc Riley calling her 2025 single For The Thrill Of It ‘perfect pop music’ — she’s become a standout voice on the UK scene. She’s toured with Kris Drever and Danny and the Champions of the World, played shows with Badly Drawn Boy and Bernard Butler, and appeared at Green Man, Secret Garden Party and Cambridge Folk Festival. Her break‑out AmericanaFest UK 2025 performance packed out Oslo in Hackney. Her fifth album, out February 2027, was recorded with Peter Bruntnell and features twelve new songs, including co‑writes with Matt Owens and David Ford, plus guest appearances from Eric Heywood and members of Bruntnell’s band. A handful of solo dates in October 2026 lead into a full‑band album tour in April 2027. ‘Dressner is able to paint visceral images and transport the listener to the world of the song.’ - American Songwriter ‘Annie is a breath of fresh air. LOVE HER WORK.’ - Marc Riley, BBC Radio 6 Music
