ROOTSTIME (Belgium) 

Dani Heyvaert | March, 2017 

"(translated from Dutch) I do not know how familiar Annie Moscow is with you, readers, but for me she was, until a few weeks ago a completely blank slate. PASSING TRAINS, Annie’s 5th release, won’t allow her to fly under the radar anymore with an exceptional release by a strong, experienced and honest woman. 

PASSING TRAINS will touch you deeply, thanks to the production of the late John Jennings, the producer and bandmate for Mary Chapin Carpenter and countless others, this record perhaps being one of his last released. A penetrating and honest record, Annie artfully turned her feelings and experiences on PASSING TRAINS into healing, yet beautiful songs, with themes that we all sometimes struggle with."

“Annie Moscow strums stories as she captures universal topics shared in both the small towns and big cities glimpsed from Passing Trains”

 

HERBERGER THEATER CENTER

Judy Rollings | September 23, 2016 

“Annie Moscow has a “voice” beyond her lovely singing voice that captivated me from the first of the many shows she has done for Lunch Time Theater.  A true poet, her commentary on life, culture and society are deeply insightful, and filled with humor and wisdom.  Put all of that on state delivered by an amazing classically trained pianist who sings her heart out, and you have Annie Moscow who unflinchingly and honestly tells all!”

 

by Dan Buckley, Formerly Arts and Entertainment Reporter with THE TUCSON CITIZEN | June 17, 2014 

My friend Annie Moscow after her one woman show, “Sea of Change,” at the Herberger Theatre in Phoenix. Annie has always been one of my favorite singer songwriters in the state because she has an ability to write lyrics that everyone can relate to and music you just want to hear again and again." Her current show is the most personal piece I’ve seen her do to date, and not a particularly common theme. Annie was married to a man for almost 30 years who, a few years back, decided to have a sex change operation. While we all applaud those with the courage to be who they really are, we forget sometimes that there is some serious collateral damage. In this show Annie tells her story, personally and honestly, with a lot of humor, and a huge thread of redemtion for her. She talks honestly about the pain and sheer numbness she went through, and about how she too is coming out the other side. On top of that we hear a clutch of new songs that are really powerful and wonderful. The’y’re songs you’d love whether you heard them in this context or just on their own. They’re songs I guarantee every person in that fairly full house could relate to. I highly recommend seeing this show, and checking out Annie Moscow wherever and whenever you can. Congrats, Annie. You made me laugh. You made me understand something I never conceived of before. And you made me proud to know this great spirit among us. You kicked ass, Annie. Be proud.

Philosophical Musings is a delightful, thought-provoking mix of storytelling, songs and audience interaction from an ex-hippie. 

Go visit Annie’s world.  where mid-life crises bites down hard, lost opportunities compete with dreams gone wrong, and we ponder the personal prices we pay for four walls – and are able to laugh all the while.”

DRAMA BEAT (cover story) 

by Lou Hunt | September 13, 2002 

New artists, like poet/pianist Annie Moscow, are quietly connecting with their audience by sharing a vulnerability that often startles us with its familiarity to our own thoughts, fears and frustrations. It’s as if our everyday lives are being given a new perspective when we see and hear our “own” stories woven into rhythm, color and rhyme.”
