Amy Petty

Amy Pettys sound and songwriting is a compelling, complex and original soundscape that weaves a lush tapestry of folk, pop, rock and blues ballad.

Art, mystery, and spirituality influence and infuse her poignant, evocative and sensual songs. These sonic canvases showcase the heartfelt emotion behind her lyrics and provide a foundation over which her voice and choral harmonies soar. Often compared to Eva Cassidy and Jonatha Brooke, Amy Petty has a signature voice and style both familiar and stunningly rare.

Amys debut CD Mystery Keeps You (July 2008) and her sophomore album House of Doors (November 2010), both released on the Red Pill label, were produced and engineered by musical powerhouse Jacob Detering (Bonnie Raitt), and feature spectacular performances by R. Scott Bryan (Sheryl Crow, Peter Mayer), Eric Grossman (Ks Choice), Jimmy Griffin, Joe Meyer, Dave Aholt, Dan McMahon and others.

Two of Amys songs are part of the award-winning documentary Ride the Divide soundtrack, released in 2010. A commissioned work by Amy, Do What I Can can be found on The Life In the Years Project, an AARP compilation disc to benefit Alzheimers research.

Amy has performed at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Club Passim in Cambridge MA, Tupelo Music Hall in Londonderry NH, The Bitter End in NYC, The Sheldon in St. Louis MO, Uncommon Ground in Chicago IL, Berklee College of Music and Boston University, among others. She has shared the main stage with artists like Sarah McLachlan, Andrea Corr, Darlene Love, Suzanne Vega, Loreena McKennitt, Steve Van Zandt, Catie Curtis, Sarah Bettens, and Melissa Ferrick.
