    My prepared statement: "Amy Pickard sings bittersweet country songs that blur the lines between folk music, traditional Americana, and hate mail. Her spare arrangements and rough country flatpicking complement a writing and performing style that is intimate and to the point. With a backing band of accomplished musicians Ramon Monras-Sender (BC Camplight, Hoots & Hellmouth), Joshua Marcus (Like Moving Insects, Fan of Friends), Aron Dunlap, and Claudio DePujadas, she’s just finished recording her first solo album, Cut from the Hopeless, after co-fronting the country band She-Haw for seven years. With She-Haw she released three records, including one for Glasgow-based label Shoeshine Records, and had the pleasure of touring with Alejandro Escovedo, Laura Cantrell, and Jason Ringenberg. Amy has also composed and performed music for the internationally-renowned Pig Iron Theatre Company, as well as Headlong Dance Theater, Iron Age Theater Company, the Broken Hipsters, and the Jangling Sparrows. " There's more where that came from, see my Right Proper bio above..... But! I've been doing some other, rather stranger performance, too. Here's a piece I did for the Pig Iron benefit in January 2007: .. .. .. .. .. ...... ....
