I am a singer, songwriter, and pianist, performing throughout the area at various events, campground resorts, craft fairs, fundraisers, and benefits.
Most recently, I performed at the Massachusetts Building at the Big–E in West Springfield, a UNICEF benefit, and the 16th Annual Rays of Hope Walk. I am currently booking events for 2010. To book an event, Contact Amy here.
I am an active member of the Folk Group and a cantor at St. Mary’s Parish. I also devote my time and support to many area elderly facilities to share my love and excitement of music with others.
I enjoy furthering my musical talents with the expertise of Janet Ryan, the lead singer of Janet Ryan and Straight Up. Janet has helped me develop my vocals and writing skills for the past five years. Two Christmases ago, Janet helped make one of my many dreams came true with the release of my first CD, A Christmas Wish. And even more exciting, this past summer I released my first original song, "It Was Him" on my self-titled album.
I love theatre and Broadway. I have taken part in several productions at my high school and in community theatre. Some of my most memorable performances include Tzeitel from Fiddler on the Roof and Bloody Mary from South Pacific. This past spring, I starred as Rose Alvarez in the production of Bye Bye Birdie and most recently was seen in the Westfield Theater Group's original musical production of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow as Margreit Van Ripper.
This coming fall, I look forward to furthering my knowledge in music and theater by attending college. Music is my passion, my joy, and my life.
