 Amy Fairchild
Amy Fairchild left college in '92 and launched her musical career in Northampton, Massachusetts; lending her
superlative voice, self-taught guitar riffs and dexterous song writing talents to several established local bands. By
late '93, she'd developed a portfolio of original tunes and was fronting her own band-a band that soon became one
of the hottest acts in the region. Her debut CD, She's Not Herself, self-produced and released in 1996, was voted
Best Album of the Year by several local papers. She has opened for such major artists as Joan Osborne, Hall and
Oates and The Marshall Tucker Band and appears on, among others, Cliff Eberhardt's "Mona Lisa" and Dar
Williams' "End of Summer."
Fairchild moved to New York City in 1997, performing at clubs all over downtown NYC. Her 1998 appearance
at The Newport Folk Festival was greeted with profuse enthusiasm. Further success ensued in the spring of '99
when she won the New York City Lilith Fair Talent Competition, earning the right to perform at the Jones Beach
Amphitheater with the likes of Sheryl Crow, Chrissie Hynde, Sarah McLachlan and others.
In May of 2001, she won the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition, at the 30th annual Kerrville (TX)
Folk Festival, joining a list of previous winners that includes Lyle Lovett, Shawn Colvin, Steve Earle and Nancy
Griffith. She will be returning to Texas for a spring tour.
Currently residing in New York City, she is performing and filling clubs throughout the city. A new full length
CD, Mr Heart, will be released on February 14th 2002. The disc has noted producer Adam Steinberg at the helm,
and performers include drummer Gary Burke and bassist Graham Maby from Joe Jackson's band, Sebastian
Steinberg from Soul Coughing and some other very special guests.
