Album Notes

Hearing is believing this sultry approach to traditional gospel hymns and spirituals. After years singing various genres in every venue imaginable, Amy has created an artsy, jazz-influenced expression of devotion - heartfelt, inspiring and as refreshing as the gift of her voice. Amy collaborates with brilliant musicians with whom she shares the stage at American Music Theater in Lancaster, PA, to create this inspiring and heartfelt album.

With the jazz standards as her first love, Amy has spent numerous years on stage throughout the country in review shows, concert productions, musical theater and in jazz venues. This debut project combines a jazz sensibility with the essence of folk-pop for a mellow gospel album that warms the soul.

Please check out Amy's subsequent recordings, Christmas Dreams: An Acoustic Collection and When the Sun Comes Out, both available on CD Baby. And if you're hanging around the house and want to watch her on Fox television, check out www.designinvasiontv.com for show dates and times in your area.

Amy sets the mood to smooth
author: Joan
I really have been enjoying this CD. I have a hectic life, but by playing this CD, it gives me a chance to totally unwind and relax again. I especially liked "Down to the River to Pray." I first bought the Christmas album last year, which was both unique and a pleasure to listen to, and this one turned out to be good, too.
