   About Amy Engelhardt
Just Plain Folks nominee

AMY ENGELHARDT is the sole female member of Grammy-nominated vocal band without instruments, The Bobs. Since joining the eccentric quartet in 1998, she has won numerous ASCAP songwriting and ACA vocal performance awards. Her writing, arrangements and vocals are featured on The Bobs' CDs Coaster (2000), The Best of The Bobs (2003), Rhapsody In Bob (2005), Get Your Monkey Off My Dog (2007), their concert DVDs LIVE AT THE 20th CENTURY (1998), THE BOBS SING! (2001) and Coldfoot Films' recent documentary about The Bobs, SIGN MY SNARLING MOVIE (2007). Amy's brainchild, "Rhapsody In Bob" (Gershwin's concerto arranged for piano - and The Bobs as a vocal orchestra), premiered at Wolf Trap Center for the Performing Arts in Spring 2005. Amy's solo CD, Not Gonna Be Pretty, released in March 2008 was recently nominated for two 2009 Just Plain Folks Music Awards ("The Grammys of independent music" - LA TIMES) - Best Female Singer/Songwriter Album and Best Modern Rock Song ("Like Me.").

Theatrical writing credits include the musicals NICHOLAS NICKLEBY (lyrics) at Seattle's Centerstage, THE NEW NORMAL (music/lyrics) at Los Angeles' John Raitt Theater and the Bobs/Flying Karamazov Brothers collaboration, A COMEDY OF ERAS at ACT Seattle (music/lyrics). Amy was also composer/lyricist for THE SHERIFF AND THE SHARIF and THE ROAD TO URANUS with The Flying Karamazov Brothers (Stage Left, Eugene) and PUSS IN BOOTS (English panto), and contributed special musical material to HOLLYWOOD NURSES (Chip Deffaa Invitational Festival at Chashama, NYC), THAT SINKING FEELING (The Free Associates, Chicago), THE DOG AND PONY SHOW (Huntington Theater, Boston and The Free Associates, Chicago, also book co-writer) and THE EGG GAME (The Present Company, NYC). Recently, Amy was the Musical Director/Arranger for the world premiere of DRUNK WITH LOVE: A TRIBUTE TO FRANCES FAYE at San Francisco's New Conservatory Theater. Amy was recently commissioned to write lyrics for a musical adaptation of Carl Sagan's novel, CONTACT, with Montreal-based composer Peter Sipos. The production is slated for September 2009.

Originally a classically trained theater artist, Amy appeared in over 50 productions ranging from the European tour of Jesus Christ Superstar and many Audreys in Little Shop of Horrors to Shakespeare and Simon in regional venues. She improvised for years with ComedySportz Boston and Los Angeles TheatreSports, returning to the world of infinite theater in San Francisco's How We First Met, which went to the 2004 Chicago Fringe and Los Angeles Improv Festivals.

Additional vocal credits include Jim Henson's Animal Jam (Discovery Kids/The Learning Channel), Barbra Streisand's Timeless concerts, Harry Shearer and Judith Owen's Holiday Show at Walt Disney Concert Hall (LA) and the Great American Music Hall (SF), NPR programs West Coast Live, Mountain Stage, E-Town, special material for Minnesota Public Radio with The Bobs (and countless FM-radio morning zoos), The Doctor Demento Show, Hooked on Phonics and interactive educational website Smarterville. Amy's album credits include Neil Young's Living With War, Bob Malone's Born Too Late, Carla Ulbrich's Sick Humor, and The Tony Jones Vocal Project. Amy recently sang on Jill Sobule’s track for Julia Sweeney’s upcoming film, Letting Go of God, produced by Don Was.

A graduate of Syracuse University and Boston's Berklee College of Music, Amy claims she was born in a New Jersey Turnpike toll booth. Although she currently lives in Los Angeles, she and brilliant goofball/screenwriter Alex Stein married north of the Arctic Circle at the world's northernmost saloon in Coldfoot, Alaska and are devoted Iceland-o-philes. Their head-explodingly cute tuxedo cat, Sitka P. Coldfoot, is widely recognized as The World's Best.

Yes, I'll see you @ Palladium on the 29th - I'll see what I can do about sitting up front for optimal heckling power :) Fremont Phil is the band so I should even be able to get a comp.

Great show tonight and very nice to see you afterward. Get this though: Bizarre experience...

I went down to the ladies' room afterward, and was whistling "Christmastime" when I walked in. I sit down in the stall, idly whistling... when the person in the stall next to me starts whistling along with. Then the person on the other side joined in. We ended up with 3-part-total-stranger-harmony whistling "Christmastime" whilst using the potty. Each of us left the ladies' room without ever seeing the others...

The strangest things happen at Bobs shows.
See you @ Moist Fest!

Amy.... It sure was great working with you. You really know how to whip the talent into shape, tactfully. And the Beer Cheese was great.
