Amy Nelson

The sweet, sad longing and play of words and phrases, delivered in a voice from days far gone; holding the plaintive echoes of the struggles of women who bore the weight of abject sorrow and hardships, reaching through the ages and channeled through this small figure of a girl. Amy Nelson began her music career as an old time banjoist, singing songs older than the hills. As time wore on, she began to dedicate herself to not only the preservation of the rural folk music she became known for, but by writing songs that reflected her own view of the world too. 1st place winner of the 2016 Ship and Anchor song competition, numerous radio play for her home recordings, and marked as a festival stand out, Amy's songs display a veracity and rawness that is uniquely her own.
