More old Bios in smaller font, just in case you didn't get enough reading in:
Amie is a New York actor and musician. She has had an extensive music career after taking two degrees in French horn performance. She has played in ensembles with Diana Krall, Jay-Z, and Kanye West, with Broadway pit orchestras, and recorded for Jewel, Joan Osborne, and Cobra Starship. As a solo artist, Amie has released four albums of original music, and composed and sang songs for films, In Time and Charline Odiot’s Amalgame.
Amie released her 4th album in Feb '15! She marries jazz chords, the tangibility of 1960's rock and fun lyrics to create some of her finest work. Her biggest inspirations are the Monkees, Harry Nilsson, and Serge Gainsbourg.
Amie’s fun-loving, pixie-ish, personality is contagious as she moves around the stage shredding 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... in a good way.
Amie's past work includes: Jay Z’s Radio City performance in 2006; was part of Kanye West’s touring band in 2007 after being in the orchestra for Josh Groban; and continues to perform regularly in Broadway pit orchestras for Wicked, and Phantom Of The Opera. With The Clayton Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Amie performed with James Galway, Diana Krall, Shirley Horn, Diane Reeves, and Christian McBride at the Hollywood Bowl. When she played in an orchestra with Herbie Hancock, conducted by Quincy Jones, she wished she hadn't been too shy to tell Herbie that they share the same birthday!
In the early days of Amie Amis’ band, they 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, and more!.
