One of the most acclaimed voices in contemporary folk music, Amy Speace has logged more than two decades on the road and onstage. Her music has chronicled that journey — a journey that's taken the Nashville resident from the coffeehouses of New York City to the Glastonbury Festival, Mountain Stage, and other bucket-list venues across the world — with over a dozen solo albums and collaborative projects, including records like The Ghost of Charlemagne (whose title track was named "International Song of the Year" at the UK Americana Awards) and There Used To Be Horses (which matched Speace's songwriting with layers of orchestral strings). Championed by icons like Judy Collins, Speace has received acclaim from NPR, The New York Times, Billboard, The London Sunday Times, and Rolling Stone for her ability to bridge the gap between classic influences and contemporary writing. She turns a new page with 2024's The American Dream, a resilient record rooted not only in timeless folk music, but also heartland roots-rock.
"Amy Speace is on a roll. Each new release has brought an expansion of her voice and her art, and she has reached the level of absolute mastery. Folk music doesn’t get any better than this.” - Mary Gauthier
Her new album, The American Dream was released on October 18th, was the #1 album on Folk Alliance album chart in November
