Amy Correia performs Friday, June 215 at the NightCat.
Amy Correia, whose “You Go Your Way” just won the Independent Music Award for Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Album of 2011, performs tonight at the NightCat in Easton.
Correia delivers her songs with a raw power that’s both vulnerable and fierce. That musical honesty draws comparisons to Cat Power and Neil Young and The New York Times calls her a “singular talent.”
Her fans agree, pitching in to raise more than $35,000 to make “You Go Your Way”. The album “basics” were recorded in 3 days by Jay Bellerose (drums), Paul Bryan (bass) & Correia (acoustic guitar, baritone uke, piano). Producer, Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann) made “a fine album with spare, sharp rhythm parts highlighting the strong, bluesy vocals, and featuring uncommonly effective string-quartet arrangements” (The New Yorker). “She’s back in top form with another rootsy gem of an album.” American Songwriter.
Correia’s third album, “veers seamlessly from arena rock to gospel music, that includes both power chords and a string quartet.” (NPR)
