On her new album "Songs for Bright Street," New York-based
singer/songwriter Amy Speace demonstrates why she's quickly become one
of her adopted hometown's most celebrated emerging artists. Possessing
a commanding voice, a distinctive melodic sensibility and an uncanny
knack for nailing complex emotions in song, Speace makes music that's
both illuminating and effortlessly accessible.

From the rustic rush of "Step Out of the Shade" to the bittersweet
lilt of "Water Landing" to the gentle acoustic intimacy of "Two,"
Songs for Bright Street's 12 original compositions (plus a slyly
countrified reading of the Blondie classic "Dreaming") showcase
Speace's unique gifts, offering catchy Americana with indelible hooks,
sharply observed lyrics and a gritty urban edge. Among those impressed
by her sassy songcraft is legendary folk-pop songstress Judy Collins,
who chose Songs for Bright Street to release on her new Wildflower label.

Amy Speace has already won a loyal grass-roots fan base, thanks in
large part to live performances that merge warmth, humor and emotional
immediacy, and to a tireless touring schedule that's already taken her
across the United States. She's also won considerable critical
acclaim, with The Village Voice observing that Speace is "taking her
Americana away from twangy contemplation toward tangy confrontation"
and noting that she's "not another of those breathy would-be child
poets, but a real singing writer of songs." Time Out New York stated,
"Amy Speace plays sweet, twangy folk music with a clear voice and an
innocent vulnerability," while The Nashville Scene noted that she
"balances wry humor with open-hearted honesty." And renowned Nashville
critic Robert K. Oermann, writing in Music Row, dubbed her a "new star."
