Wildflower Records artist Amy Speace's CD, "Songs For Bright Street"
is being officially released throughout Europe this summer. On June
29th, the album will be available through O-tone / Edel in Germany and
Austria, with an August 27th release for all other European markets
through ADA/Ryko. Amy will be featured on the cover of the July issue
of Edel (Otone's Distribution network) Magazine as one of their lead
summer releases.
Her single "Step Out Of The Shade" is currently receiving very good
airplay across Germany, with some stations spinning the song up to 25
times a week. Amy has also been receiving rave reviews in German
press, including Home of Rock, as well as Sweden's Musiklandet and
Trots Allt.
"A fully convincing Singer-Songwriter / Roots-Rock, in short Americana
album, that excels with a refreshing variety, superb musicians and
wonderfully crafted lyrics. Speace's lyrical elegance and the
inventiveness of her finely selected metaphors intertwine very
convincingly with the craft of her band, The Tearjerks and give each
of the 13 songs its very unique identity. Boredom never comes near the
listener, of course." Home of Rock, March 16, 2007
"Amy has the same immediate gravitas as the genre's queen, Lucinda
Williams. But the best tracks on Songs for bright street are testimony
to the fact that this is an artist who could well bloom into someone
really big in the future." Musiklandet, March 16, 2007
"If Lucinda Williams is the queen of Americana, Kathleen Edwards is
about to be challenged for the title of princess by this New York
resident. Imagine both their spunk in combination with Roseanne Cash's
elegance and you get Amy Speace. That she gets helped by Gary Louris
from the Jayhawks on the duet is clearly a sign. We'll be hearing a
lot more about Speace." Trots Allt, February 2007
Amy Speace is presently being featured in PBS' leading series of
"short-form" programming FastFocusTV, airing nationally on more than
100 U.S. public television stations reaching over 62 million
households nationwide. She has started 2007 with a bang, winning IMA
(Independent Music Awards) Vox Populi winner for Best Country Song,
selected as a runner-up in the Open category of the 3rd Annual IAMA
(International Acoustic Music Awards) and nominated "Emerging Artist
of the Year" for the 2007 Folk Alliance Awards. Most recently, Amy has
made it to the Top 10 Country stage of the Famecast talent
competition.
