A modern folksinger whose music nods to the genre’s 1970’s glory days, Amy Speace is considered one of the great contemporary singer-songwriters. Heralded by Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Billboard Magazine and NPR’s “Weekend Edition,” Amy Speace was discovered by Judy Collins, who signed her to her record label and has recorded her song, “Weight of the World.”

Amy’s latest 3 releases all debuted at #1 on the Folk DJ Charts. Her latest release is a powerful single “The Reckoning,” a song she wrote in the aftermath of the Renee Goode shooting. During Covid, Amy went back to school for a Masters in Creative Writing in poetry. Her debut collection of poems, The Cardinals, is being published by Red Hen Press and will be available after Sept. 1.   The Cardinal Tour is a celebration of the book and will weave her songs and poems, and trademark storytelling, together in intimate concerts around the country.

“What Amy Speace says – what she sings – she says with a confluence of poetry and honesty, of emotional specificity” – Jon Pareles, The New York Times.
