Amy Young – …”a fresh spirited performer of soulful and timeless standards, crowd
pleasing covers and original tunes that are thought-provoking and deeply cultivated. Amy’s
voice has been described as energetic, engaging with a sweet clarity that carries an
almost visible strength. Mix the melancholy and intimate styling of Natalie Merchant with the
playfulness of Sheryl Crow, add the grittiness of Joni Mitchell and you begin to get the
idea."
Young is a distinctive composer who incorporates elements of rock, pop, folk, light jazz and
blues; always melodic and self-assured. She is perfectly comfortable with a driving rock
bass, a heartbroken bluesy ballad or a jazzy swing tune. A native of West Michigan, Amy
studied voice while at Western Michigan University.
“The goal is to relate authentically letting songs expose experience. They are simply a
response to what happens, what I learn and how I change.”
Young has played a variety of Western Michigan venues including the JW Marriott's
Mixology, The BOB, Ottawa Tavern, convention centers, area coffee houses, festivals,
retreats and private events.
