Ann Marie Pincivero has been a prolific songwriter for the past few years. A regular at the Keith Thompson Songwriter's Cafe, she has been featured several times at Manhattans Music Club singing her original songs and playing guitar. She performed 11 hours during the 201 hour Guinness World record-breaking event November 2006 for the longest concert of continuous original music. During this event, she was on the front of the local paper. She has also appeared at the River Run Centre a number of times and at the Busholme Inn with Kevin Brown. Erin Radio has featured her in their "Songwriter's Spotlight" show on Sundays (CHES 101.5 FM and can also be heard around the world at erinradio.ca) and the "Time Warp" show with Dave and Lee, performing with Kevin Brown.Though she had no formal vocal training, Ann Marie was apparently singing before she could talk. In school, she performed in local talent shows. Also a born writer, she has penned a number of short stories, a novella and countless poems. Her poetry has been published in "The Queen's Quarterly," "The Dalhousie Review" and "Green's Magazine" and was positively reviewed in "The National Post." Her love of music and writing became intertwined when a friend, Rich Mulvey, taught her to play basic guitar chords a few years ago. She began putting chord progressions together & the lyrics came flooding out. She now has about 250 songs and continues to write. It will be a challenge getting them all onto CDs! She recorded a rough acoustic demo CD with Rich a few years ago, called "Talk Behind My Back." She is now working on a pop CD "Magnetic," at Erinwood Studios with Kevin Brown, to be released this September. While the songs begin as acoustic, skillful sound engineer and multi-talented musician Kevin Brown transforms them into pop songs in the studio with his instrumentation and mixing. Ann Marie has also done background vocals for the band "Lick," for Newfoundlander Michael T. Wall's upcoming CD as well as for singer/songwriter Kent Macmillan (aka Max Bent). Aside from being a performing songwriter, she is also interested in collaborating with other artists and working with music publishers, producers and singers as a non-performing songwriter.An award-winning University of Toronto grad, with a B.A. in English, Drama and Art, Ann Marie's unique passion for the arts extends beyond music and literature to art and theatre. As an actress she has performed in various plays and musicals and has appeared in television and film. As a visual artist, she has shown her original acrylic paintings in local galleries and shows.Ann Marie believes that art and music nourish the soul. Being able to express yourself creatively and then share that expression with others is among life's greatest gifts.
