"The last time I remember being this excited by a collection of songs by a new artist was the first time I heard the opening lines of Iris Dement's 1992 release, Infamous Angel." MW-Sing Out! 2006

"A resonant vintage folk/bluegrass bender, My Remembrance haunts with it's tales... of the human spirit. Her voice sounds like the smoke from a hand rolled cigarette... It's old-time, perhaps even out-of-time, and it draws you in with it's musky, dusky tone and emotional nuances that glow like dying coals." Holly Gleason, No Depression

Her album has spent months on the Folk Music Radio Airplay Chart, including the #1 most-played song. It also charted on the Euro-Americana Chart, where it debuted at #3, just behind the Guy Clark and Johnny Cash albums. Her fans were treated to more good news in 2006 when she was named a Kerrville New Folk winner, the most prestigious award in the singer-songwriter world. Previous Kerrville competitors include Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett and Steve Earle.

Adopted as an infant and raised in New York, Diana left home at the age of 15 in search of her roots. Unlike her friends, Diana was attracted to the music of Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline, as well as contemporary artists Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. It wasn't’t until she was reunited with her birth family and the music of the Eastern Tennessee hills some years later, that she discovered why that music had always moved her.

Diana honed her songwriting and performing skills in the fertile Austin music scene where she released her first recording, "Imagine Me". The critical acclaim and grass roots following that sprung up around this release caught the interest of Hamstien Publishing and Diana signed a deal to record her second record, "The One That Got Away".

Diana returned to the northeast seeking time to heal from the loss of her beloved grandfather, Robert Lee Maranville, who as a young man performed with Chet Atkins among others. The isolation led Diana to write from a deeper place, and after some serious wood shedding, she emerged with some of the most honest songs of her life.
