Bluesy singer-songwriter Amy Correia will be stopping by in Easton to perform at the Stoltz Listening Room on Friday, May 13 at 8pm.
Correia delivers songs with a raw power that’s both vulnerable and fierce. That musical honesty has drawn comparisons to Tom Waits and Michelle Shocked and The New York Times calls her a singular talent.”
Her fans agree, pitching in to raise more than $35K to make Correia’s third record, You Go Your Way. Independently released last year to critical acclaim, American Songwriter writes she’s “back in top form with another rootsy gem of an album..Correia shows off her Rod Stewart-meets-Lucinda Williams pipes on Powder Blue Trans Am.” The New Yorker calls You Go Your Way “a fine record, with spare, sharp rhythm parts highlighting the strong, bluesy vocals, and featuring uncommonly effective string-quartet arrangements.”
An early convert to the “fan-funded” album after two major label releases with EMI (“Carnival Love” and “Lakeville”), Correia recently finished a 28-city tour of the U.S., opening for legendary frontwoman of The Pretenders, Chrissie Hynde. Hynde and her musical partner, JP Jones, hand-picked Correia to open for their new project after seeing Correia perform live. (Her live show is not to be missed!) Accompanying herself on piano, ukulele and guitar, Correia has also toured extensively with Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Marc Cohn (Walking in Memphis), opening shows and performing as a member of his stellar band, appearing on Good Morning America, Ellen Degeneres, The View and The Today Show. Her new album You Go Your Way is available at amycorreia.com (and digitally at I-tunes and Amazon).
