   About Amy Cook
“Moody and kick-ass”
Velvet Park

“Plants the flag for songs that explore expanded spaces of imagination...strides buoyantly into the darkness, ever moving ever dreaming...”
Michael Corcoran, Austin American Statesman

"Talk about an appropriate title. THE SKY OBSERVER'S GUIDE is an ethereal wonderland."
No Depression R.I.P.

“Cook’s tales are spun with a genuine sense of wonder...”
Aarik Danielsen, PopMatters

“Marfa must have one awesome blue canopy.”
Times Record (MD)

bio by Izzy D. 2/28/08. (minister of observations, Roothouse Collective)
Amy Cook is a human. She can be found wherever there is a huge sky full of stars and a guitar. She is a lover and a fighter, in that order. She once lived in LA for its charm and nostalgia, now she lives in Austin because that other place lacked fireflies and a sense of hope. She is not altogether self-assured and is a tiny bit sentimental. She tends to the garden of her music in an old trailer sitting on the bluff of a river somewhere, or on the front porch with sleeping dogs at her feet. Amy enjoys long walks on the beach, cheap hotel rooms, fancy hotel rooms, freedom, every songwriter trying to make a living, people who can say “I’m sorry,” and staying up late listening to records with friends. If her songs were fabric, they would be old and tattered and spun of fine silk in a faraway place. The rest I cannot say. Amy Cook has tales to tell.

The tenderness is broken, maybe that's why your music is so heavy.
