Welcome to the website of Aspirion recording artist, Annie Sims.

Music fans and critics around the world are giving rave reviews to Annie Sims. One listen to her music and you will hear why they are so excited. Her delicate, beautiful voice is winning them over.

An international recording artist, Annie has appeared in concert with musical superstars, and wowed audiences in hallowed halls all across Europe – from Vienna, Austria - to London, England. Now, Annie has set her sights on America. And so far, her home country is welcoming this East Tennessee native with open arms. Renowned Nashville Music Row magazine critic, Robert K. Oermann, recently graced Annie with a coveted “DisCovery Award” for her song, “Eighty Acres Of Stars,” stating, “Her sweet, languid and crystal-clear vocal is perfect for this tuneful romance. Very, very pretty.” Annie has also been featured in major country music magazines such as Country Weekly and Maverick, and on the Internet at AllAboutCountry.com and CountryStarsOnline.com, among countless other media outlets. On U.S. radio, Annie Sims is a welcome breath of fresh air.

Annie has drawn from a wealth of varied musical influences to forge her own unique sound. “I have always loved singer/songwriters like James Taylor, Carole King, and Carly Simon,” Annie states. “Later on, Trisha Yearwood and Suzy Boggus’ voices really attracted me to country music. They really excited me. Kenny Rogers was one of the first “crossover artists” that I really liked and I covered his version of ‘Sweet Music Man’ on my latest album.”

Her debut album, released in the U.K., in late-2002, paved the way for her to tour England, Scotland and Wales - to great critical acclaim - as the opening act for Country Music Hall of Fame recording artist, Don Williams. In 2003, she made a follow up tour of the U.K. and Ireland with the late Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Gene Pitney, closing the tour at the fabled London Palladium – legendary birthplace of “Beatlemania.”

With her U.S. debut album, Half the Moon, released in 2004 on Aspirion Records, Annie made a major leap forward in her artistic development – writing six songs on the record herself. She filled the rest of the album with songs by some of the industry's top songwriters. The success of the album led to a European tour of Italy, Slovenia, Denmark, England, Austria, Sweden, and the Netherlands, as the musical guest of Neale Donald Walsch, author of the New York Times best-seller book series, Conversations With God. Annie was honored to be mentioned in Walsch 's latest book, Home With God In A Life That Never Ends, and she was, and still is, featured on his Special Opportunities and Resources page on his website.

Four singles have been released from Half The Moon. The first was entitled “Doesn't Anybody Love Like That Anymore.” The second single, “Dear Heartache,” was promoted nationwide. Annie worked with director, Scott Mumford, of FilmHouse studios on the video which was shot in Nashville, onboard the Tennessee Central at the Nashville Train Museum. The video aired on GAC, and for twelve weeks on Music Choice Country. The third single to come off the album, “Tennessee Fix,” was released only in Annie’s home state of Tennessee, in September 2005. It was co-written by Annie and husband/producer Greg Sims , and one of Annie’s favorite co-writers, Harry Hann. Annie recalls of writing the song, “Greg and I were born and raised in East Tennessee and had made Orlando our home for a number of years. We wrote all the lyrics when we were really homesick for our beloved Smoky Mountains and were missing the country way of life. Harry came over with his guitar one afternoon, and within about an hour all those words had morphed into a fun, funny (but true) song.” "Eighty Acres of Stars," the fourth single, was written by esteemed tunesmiths Richard Leigh, and Layng Martine, Jr.. The song is a beautiful ballad that tells the true story of how Leigh proposed to his wife, Shannon. Sims was so inspired by their classic love tale that she recently teamed again with Scott Mumford to shoot the video on the Leigh’s farm in Middle Tennessee - where the real-life story took place. It was the perfect setting for Leigh’s song. He has written some of country’s most beloved songs, including “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” recorded by Crystal Gayle, and “The Greatest Man I Never Knew,” by Reba McEntire.

The future looks bright for Annie Sims, and she is living the dream that she has pursued since she was a child. Thank you for supporting her on her journey.

Watch for a major announcement soon!
