“Amy Carol Webb” defined, is “beloved song weaver.” She is passionate, powerful, and poignant. She’s the girl next door and no ordinary woman. Born and reared in Oklahoma, Amy traces her heritage back to Native Americans through her Great-Grandmothers who settled Oklahoma when it was still a Territory. Amy’s music reflects the same pioneering spirit, tenacity, integrity and never-quit grit.
Exactly these qualities led her to her lifelong dream of harmonizing music and ministry, earning her M.Div., becoming a hospice Chaplain and Candidate for Unitarian Universalist Ministry, while her music continues to flourish.
On stage since the age of 5, Amy got her first guitar – a used Harmony gut-string, Christmas day, at age 11 and taught herself “Red River Valley” before nightfall. By 14, she was writing and playing music at hometown events, studying works from a remarkably diverse palette of artists – Guthrie to Gershwin, Leonard Cohen to Leonard Bernstein, Bonnie Raitt to Beverly Sills – then graduated college with a degree in performing arts and hit the road from the lower 48 states to Japan, Canada and Mexico with the New Christy Minstrels, the New Seekers and her own bands.
Eight acclaimed independent CD’s later, Amy’s raising the roof from Miami to Boston, from the venerated Kennedy Center to Florida’s festival stages, sharing stages with many whose work inspires her own, from Richie Havens to Janis Ian, Tom Paxton, David Roth and Vance Gilbert. Her work features interactive concert performances, community building events, keynotes and contribution to important causes, including her powerful “I Come from Women” women’s history multi-media concert and “Sing Me the River” show spotlighting the lore and love of Florida’s waterways.
She is “voice, vision, grace and grit.” She is “beauty and vulnerability, genuine, sympathetic and electrifying.” Her joy is infectious, her courage inspiring, her songs gifts of literate, humorous, often profound poems of one woman’s remarkable journey from precious child, to woman to mother…
… to “Songweaver.”
