"Two," the single from Jersey City-based country/folk artist Amy
Speace, was selected as a runner-up in the Open category of the 3rd
Annual IAMA (International Acoustic Music Awards). This follows two
other acclamations of Amy's music: IMA (Independent Music Awards) Vox
Populi winner for Best Country Song and nomination for "Emerging
Artist of the Year" for the 2007 Folk Alliance Awards.
"Speace has her own sound - it isn't enough to compare her to
[Melissa] Etheridge or Sarah McLachlan (who she can match in range and
pitch, listen to "Two" and you'll see)," wrote Diana Schwaeble of The
Current. "Her honeyed voice is polished and rich with emotional
nuance, much like some of the Jazz greats."
The single "Two" will be included on the IAMA Compilation CD,
distributed to Acoustic/AAA/Folk radio stations in United States and
overseas. IAMA (International Acoustic Music Awards) promotes
excellence in acoustic music performance and artistry.
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
has been asked to open for Little Feat, Heartland, Phil Vassar, John
Corbett Roger McGuinn, John Gorka, Peter Mulvey, Tracy Grammer, Sloan
