DINER

Diner is county singer/songwriter who grew up in a small town called North Plains, OR on a horse ranch. Her parent’s own a diner just outside of Portland, OR and she’s worked there her entire life. “I used to hide that I was just the local diner girl and that I worked there with my parents… but I found the beauty in it… I was raised by a community of people that knew me before I could ever see over the counter..” Her edge and motivation come from her mother Helen, who was in an all-girl punk rock band that started in her parents garage in the 80’s…they went on to tour with bands like Black Flag and have a record with The Dead Kennedy’s. Diner’s inspiration comes from growing up working in the diner from the age of 5. She likes to write from the perspective that she’s in the dreamworld she created in her head to help her get through a shift. “Music has given me the ability to take from my present reality and dream up my favorite scenarios.. Whatever or however random it is, I can be anything when I’m listening to music…it becomes real for me and I hope I can create that same feeling for others when they listen to mine” she says. “…and all Ill ever be is just your local diner girl” DINER is currently working on a EP to be released in 2024 on record label Saint & Citizen Music.
