AmySho grew up amongst the cotton fields and kudzu of the Mississippi Delta, home of Delta Blues. She began her music “career” at the age of 3 performing "piano-concertos-de-la’-soap-opera" for her mother's bridge club. They were a willing, but captive, audience. Soon thereafter, the “official” piano recitals began. Although Amy enjoyed piano, she preferred a good Jerry Lee Lewis Boogie-Woogie than Brahms, Bach, or Beethoven. At 11, she penned and performed her first song for the congregation of The First Baptist Church of Louisville, Mississippi. According to her grandmother the congregation was, at the very least, a bit surprised. “Well, you know hon’ ”said Amy’s grandmother, “it was good… we just weren’t expecting such a BIG voice from such a little girl.” Little did they know....
Next, naturally, was the high school rock band, “The Bohemian Ragamuffins,” where Amy’s influences included Sheila E., Gloria Estefan, Pat Benetar, and Madonna. The rock band was short lived, but Amy’s music ‘bug’ was not. Eventually, Amy earned a Bachelor’s in Music (percussion and keyboards), and Music Business, graduate work in Theatre, toured in her college band around the Southeast circuit, and thus, with her schoolin' , her theatre and beauty queen experiences behind her, relocated to Los Angeles.
And Amy's "big voice"? It can "rattle your rafters" and has been heard from The Ford Amphitheatre to the Staples Center to Kulak’s Woodshed, as well as other venues around the Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Diego areas.
Amy currently resides in the dual cites of Las Vegas and Los Angeles where she teaches theatre and performs weekly in BandShe, the hottest all-girl cover act on the Strip. Check out her myspace pages for audios of her originals and video clips of BandShe performances!
