Amy Speace

Amy Speace, an awardwinning singer/songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist, makes a special appearance with Paul at this concert.

A “Baltimore-born-Manhattan-transplant”, Speace’s music lies where folk, country, pop and rock meet.

With the storytelling of Dar Williams, the rootsy grit of Kim Richey, the range of Joni Mitchell and the pop sensibilities of a girl who grew up on 80s college radio, Amy Speace’s voice is reaching audiences of all ages.

Spunky, daring, and bittersweet, this self-described “twangirr is just getting started.

Amy has won widespread praise while touring the US from coast to coast, and picked up songwriting awards from the USA Songwriting Competition and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.

Blending elements of the early country and gospel music she grew up on with her years of strict music training and an indie rock-folk sensibility honed by her stint as a college radio disc jockey, Amy’s “storysongs” paint an Americana portrait with a sassy urban edge and a hooky sensibility.

Gazebo Gatherings 2005 is presented by Blue Ridge Arts Council, and sponsored in part by the Town of Front Royal, the County of Warren, and the Virginia Commission for the Arts.
