Amy Speace

About this original series

Amy Speace's latest album release, "Songs For Bright Street," has been attracting lots of attention, spending 3 months in the Top 10 of Folk Radio Charts and 10 weeks in the Top 10 of Roots Americana Charts (both in the summer of 2006). The album was chosen as one of Indie-Music.com's Top 25 Indie Releases. PBS distributor FastFocusTV is to feature Amy on their new series "Frequency," hosted by Dave Koz. Amy was recently nominated "Emerging Artist of the Year" for the 2007 Folk Alliance Awards and won Best Country Song for IMA's first Vox Populi Awards. She has been asked to open for Little Feat, Heartland, Phil Vassar, John Corbett Roger McGuinn, John Gorka, Peter Mulvey, Tracy Grammer, Sloan Wainright and Steve Forbert. Amy has also won considerable critical acclaim. The Village Voice (NYC) observed that Speace is "taking her Americana away from twangy contemplation toward tangy confrontation" and noted that she's "not another of those breathy would-be child poets, but a real singing writer of songs." Time Out New York stated, "Amy Speace plays sweet, twangy folk music with a clear voice and an innocent vulnerability." The Nashville Scene noted that she "balances wry humor with open-hearted honesty" and renowned Nashville critic Robert K. Oermann, writing in Music Row, dubbed her a "new star." www.amyspeace.comwww.myspace.com/amyspeace
