Promotional Text for Live Performances
When Amy Meyers takes the stage it’s like joy walks right into the room.
A native Texan who grew up training classically in opera and majoring in theater at Northwestern, Meyers has a voice that falls somewhere between Shawn Colvin and Sarah McLachlan. Her deft vocal phrasing and richly textured delivery separate her from the average singer-songwriter, and her buoyantly refreshing songs make her a memorable performer among fans from 2 to 92. Lyrically, Meyers effortlessly summons the landscape of failed relationships, personal expectations, and lost summers, and seamlessly blends these subjects into songs that soothe the savage soul. Her songs are emotionally honest slices of daily life that don't attempt to mythologize or mask reality - good and bad. Quotes
“Amy's evocative lyrics pack many emotions, situations, and characters into just a few lines. Her voice covers a wide spectrum, yet always yields to her understated control over her performance.”
- The Review, Tahoe “Meyers is HAPPY (or at least, content), and if she isn't, she sure knows how to pull the wool over the eyes. You hear it in her voice. Better yet, you hear it in her music.” – Frank Gulch, Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange “She has the pipes and especially has the feeling.” - Frank Gulch, Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange As Peter Allen’s mother, Marion Woolnough (in Boy From Oz), Amy Meyers did a spectacular job with a very touching portrayal… plus knockout singing on “Don’t Cry Out Loud”. -CAHWYGUY Theater Review Blog |
