This is Amy's Record release show in Austin, TX! The American Dream was released in mid-October but this is her first time back in Austin since then. This is a FREE SHOW at The Cactus - Austin's long time home of great acoustic music! Doors open at 7pm, Amy begins at 7:30pm. Come out Austin! The album reached #1 on the Folk Alliance International airplay charts in October, fell to #5 in November, bounced back up to #2 in December. The title track was #6 in their Top Twenty for the year! Still getting airplay at AAA & Americana too! Pain. Poetry. Resilience. Resolve. It’s all part of Amy Speace’s new album, The American Dream. Reflections from every era of the lauded songwriter’s life are represented—a childhood bike ride with friends, an artistic awakening as a 20-something New Yorker, a painful divorce—and turned into fuel for chasing down her own bolder, brighter present; all made possible by Speace’s triple-threat talent as a songwriter, storyteller, and otherworldly singer. The result is a diverse, dynamic album that shows just how far Speace's artistic reach can be, with a tracklist that evokes Tom Petty one minute and Tom T. Hall the next.
