Having returned from starring in Japan and Australia as Killer Queen in the Queen/Ben Elton Stage Production of We Will Rock You, Annie Crummer is back in New Zealand and eager to showcase her brand new material, with her 8-piece band, at The Famous Spiegeltent as part of AK07.

"I'm honored to be supported by a band of exceptional musicians and special guests... a treat for the audience as well as for myself! This will be the first show I'll perform my new material with this band, alongside a few familiar songs. The seasoned Famous Spiegeltent will create the perfect atmosphere to launch what's been long overdue, and I'm looking forward to hearing my new songs echo around the walls of that beautiful old venue" says Annie.

She currently resides in New Zealand and has worked, toured, and recorded with Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham, Diesel, Christine Anu, Dave Dobbyn, the Finn Brothers, and sung support for Ray Charles, Paul McCartney, KD Lang, Sting, and Michael Jackson.

Annie came into the public eye at age nine, singing on the television show Opportunity Knocks and at sixteen she released her debut single Once or Twice, which reached #16 on the national charts.

Warner Music went on to release three Annie Crummer albums - Language (sales of this album went Platinum), Seventh Wave (which was mixed at Prince's Paisley Park studio in the USA) and, in 2004, Shine ... The Best Of.

Annie has performed in two major musical stage productions, Rent and We Will Rock You (WWRY). UK supergroup Queen and writer Ben Elton hand chose Annie to play the role of Killer Queen in WWRY, and Annie toured Australia and Japan, and recorded the chart topping Queen Anthem Another One Bites The Dust, at Roger Taylor's studio in London using the original multi-track. The song features on the WWRY Original Cast CD and is available worldwide.

Annie is currently in the process of recording a new album.
