The music of Amie Amis is inspired by the likes of Frank Zappa and Stereolab with a touch of Serge Gainsburg, and a pinch of Björk. Starting in 2000, Amie Amis and Rick Thompson began their musical collaboration by composing humorous ditties. Over time these ditties have evolved into musical extravaganzas all while retaining their original humorous spirit.

“I just pinched Björk!”

Amie’s fun-loving, pixie-ish, personality is contagious as she moves around the stage shredding out on French Horn, or strumming a ukulele, when not joyously singing catchy melodies that will get stuck in your head for days at a time.

Amie Amis’ band has performed at CBGB’s, The Knitting Factory, Pianos, The Slipper Room, Spike Hill, Sugar Bar, Drom, Lit Lounge, Connolly’s Klub 45, and The National Underground just to name a few.

Just one of the amazing things you’ll see at an Amie Amis show.

Amie has also lent her talents to Jay Z’s Radio City performance in 2006, was part of Kanye West’s touring band in 2007, performs regularly in Broadway pit orchestras for Wicked, and Phantom Of The Opera, and has also played with Josh Groban. With The Clayton Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Amie performed with James Galway, Diana Krall, Shirley Horn, Diane Reeves, and Christian McBride at the Hollywood Bowl. In addition, Amie can be seen playing in the orchestra in the movie August Rush. In 2002 Amie toured Beijing, China with the Miami Chamber Orchestra.

Reviews:
“The show was outstanding... I enjoyed the energy and diversity of the band's music.”
- Fredo, Loungerati

“Amie Amis specializes in a not-easily-categorizable blend of lounge-pop and jazz, with occasional blasts of Pixies-ish power pop thrown in for good measure. Think a slinky, live Stereolab fronted by a stylishly modern Betty Boop.”
- Ted Alvarez,Vail Daily

"She is the cutest thing and then she picks up her big-ass French horn and rocks out."
- Lara Ewen, Unstrung Music
