Since starting AnnieMac in January of 2006, Joe Diehl and Annie McIntyre have brought the band from playing in McIntyre’s living room to being heard in Starbuck’s all across the world. McIntyre and Diehl rediscovered each other in Ashland, Oregon years after the musicians, who had played together in one of McIntyre's former Bay Area bands, had moved separately to the beautiful southern Oregon town.



McIntyre and Diehl brought together a group of exceptional musicians that rapidly developed a one-of-a-kind take on old-school riffs, jams and rhythms. We started with covers of danceable classics like David Lindley's "Mercury Blues" and Etta James' "99 and a Half" and have added to the band's ever-increasing lineup of originals, capitalizing on McIntyre's often soul-searching and personal lyrics. At this point the band plays 95% original music crafted by the band’s core group of musicians – Annie McIntyre, Joe Diehl and Allen Crutcher.



The lead singer's genre-spanning songs are passionate, sensual gems rounded out by the band's tight vocal harmonies, synergistic playing and Roots Rock & Soul grooves.



"Every band member contributes to the arrangements and the result is a collection of songs that have a lush texture and polish that reflect the band's combined history," McIntyre explains.



Making great music with powerful, timeless songs that lead straight to the heart, AnnieMac has touched many.



"It's sort of a simmered stew of past and present, of body, soul and hard pavement," says McIntyre. "We sing stories that connect the audience to their hearts."



AnnieMac's first CD, Ignition, released September 2008. The band recorded at RadioStar studios under the tutelage of legendary guitarist and producer Jeff Pevar and producer and studio owner Sylvia Massy Shivy who has recorded and/or mixed tunes for such diverse artists as R.E.M., Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, System Of A Down and the late Johnny Cash.

Annie continues to sing, write and travel with her band spreading her message of joy and empowerment to body and soul.



Ignition, is available at CD Baby, Amazon and iTunes. It has been in rotation on several NPR stations across the country and is getting some air play in Europe.



AnnieMac is currently recording their new single “Look At Me, Don’t Look At Me. It will be available soon!



AnnieMac is currently seeking management and a booking agent.
