In May 2011, Annie was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Pacific Music Awards and is currently working on her next album 'Project annie.c'.
Annie is performing with Christchurch funk outfit, Oval Office, who over the past four years have steadily gained a reputation as one of New Zealand's top live acts. Known for tight, high energy shows Oval Office play an engaging mix of original funk and soul fused with jazz and blues influences. Their music delivers hard hitting grooves, explosive horn lines and enticing, soulful vocals.
In this special festival show Oval Office will be joined on stage by Annie Crummer and special guests for a unique night of collaborations featuring stellar instrumentalists and some standout New Zealand vocalists. A night of great soul music with more than a few surprises.
