Amy Correia
Artist Description
Amy
Correia delivers songs with a raw power that’s both vulnerable and fierce. That
musical honesty has drawn comparisons to Tom Waits and Michelle Shocked and The
New York Times calls her “a singular talent.” After two major releases on
EMI, Amy Correia recently scored a creative and entrepreneurial victory by
raising more than $35K to produce and release her third record, You Go Your
Way. An early convert to the “fan-funded album,” Correia’s new album
“veers seamlessly from arena rock to gospel music, that includes both power
chords and a string quartet.” (NPR). American Songwriter writes
she’s “back in top form with another rootsy gem of an album…Correia shows off
her Rod Stewart-meets-Lucinda Williams pipes on Powder Blue Trans Am.” A
dynamic performer who accompanies herself on guitar, piano and baritone
ukelele, Correia recently made a 28-city tour of the U.S., opening for
legendary frontwoman of The Pretenders, Chrissie Hynde. Hynde and her musical
partner, JP Jones, hand-picked Correia to open for their new project after
seeing Correia perform live. Correia has also toured extensively
with Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Marc Cohn (“Walking in Memphis”), opening
shows and performing as a member of his stellar band, appearing on Good
Morning America, Ellen Degeneres, The View and The Today
Show.
