Deirdre Flint is a former elementary school teacher who got her start in music by writing humorous American history songs for her fifth grade students.  These days, she’s best known for her satirical tunes about everyone’s favorite age—adolescence.  A perennial favorite with songs about cheerleaders, the metric system and past-life regression, Flint’s music and humor land her in the intersection where folk music and stand-up comedy collide.

Since her first CD, The Shuffleboard Queens, debuted in 1999, Flint has toured the country, performing at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas, the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in New York, and the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.  In addition to appearing on countless radio programs across the country, Flint’s off-beat humorous songs have been featured in TLC’s “A Dating Story” and “Always a Bridesmaid,” as well as “What Not to Wear” in Ireland. 

“Her sense of humor is suitable for family listening, and she pokes fun of life as it is lived,” said Sing Out! magazine.  “Flint’s powerful performances leave audiences, who range from teenagers to parents, weeping with laughter – and occasionally grief – over her wry observations,” said The Christian Science Monitor.
