TESTIMONIALS

"I love what you do with harmony."
- Dar Williams, singer-songwriter

“First I thought I had hired an old friend with some harmony vocal skills. I realized what I had was a talented vocal arranger, a harmony trouble shooter with spot-on intonation, and a 'song colorist' ready and armed with ideas looong before tape starts rolling. Better hire her now, she may soon be unaffordable for your next project.”
- Vance Gilbert, singer-songwriter

"Amy is a total pro, with ace vocal chops as a lead singer and harmonizer, impeccable taste and a great work ethic."
- Sean Altman, singer-songwriter, formerly Rockapella

IN PERFORMANCE

I am available for live harmony work on a per gig or permanent basis. I will make it sound like we've rehearsed extensively, even if we haven't. In addition:

• I can write my own harmonies or sing yours (or a combination thereof), learned either by ear or written.
  
• I can write several lines from which to choose from on the fly, from the complex and edgy to the beautiful and smooth.
  
• I can blend my vocals seamlessly to yours, and, because of years of choral and a cappella work, can match breathing and phrasing with accuracy, with one other person solo, with a band, or in a vocal group.
  
• Because of my extensive experience in all-pop vocal formats, I'm precise, but I still maintain a pop sound and sensibility, and can sing various styles.
  
• I have complete control over my vibrato and can take it out or put it in at will, and I can easily hold long tones for an instrumental effect.
  
• I play acoustic (steel string, Larivee) guitar and keyboard, as well as percussion.
  
• I have strong mic technique.
  
• I am able and happy to travel anywhere for rehearsals or performances.

I also feel strongly that it's important for musicians to present an interesting visual as well as to sound good, so I always LOOK as if I'm there to perform. I have a variety of looks that I can match to your aesthetic, or choose freely.

IN STUDIO

I have years of studio experience, and can do vocal lines in a minimal amount of takes. I am the consummate professional, and will arrive on time, engaged and prepared.
