AMY ALLEN TO PERFORM IN NASHVILLE ON FEB. 7
Concert at CoCreators Coffeehouse to Feature All-Star Band of Nashville Musicians
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 2014) – Blues-accented country/pop/Americana singer-songwriter Amy Allen
will take the stage for a special “Someday Is Today” concert from
8:30-10 p.m. Feb. 7 (Friday) at the CoCreators Coffeehouse at the Center
for Spiritual Living Nashville, 6705 Charlotte Pike in Nashville.
Opening for Allen from 7:30-8:15 p.m. will be singer-songwriters Taylor Giese, Chris ‘Freight Train’ Floyd, and Denny Martin. The artist will be joined onstage at 8:30 p.m. by an all-star cast of Nashville musicians, including Joel Atkins, Lance Hoppen, Max Niederle, Sean O’Shea, Rick Perry, J.Karen Thomas, Jody Lopez-Robinson, Susan Shann, and Mike Wagel. Admission is free; donations support the non-profit Global Village Education Foundation through the Just Give Movement.
Allen is celebrating the recent release of her second album,
“Someday Is Today”. The title track from the project recently hit
number 15 on the STS Main Country Chart. “Josie Rae”, a mid-tempo
country/pop song about motherhood, was released to radio nationally on
Jan. 6.
Hoppen is the co-founder of the legendary rock/pop band
Orleans, and Thomas has starred in movies and TV shows, including
ABC-TV’s “Nashville”. O’Shea serves as the music director for the Center
for Spiritual Living Nashville. Other musicians on the bill have
performed extensively at venues and recording studios across the
country.
“It’s an honor to perform with some of Nashville’s most
successful musicians,” said Allen, who will perform in various cities
during 2014, including a Blue Ridge Mountains tour in late September.
“Every note I sing or every note or chord I strum is given with all of
the love I have for the song I am performing. My voice is the voice of
someone who has been down many different roads.”
Allen’s surprising success follows a long break from the
music industry. In the late 1990s, she landed a recording contract and
opened for acts such as John Conlee, Patty Loveless, and Brooks &
Dunn — even performing at The White House and the Ryman Auditorium.
Health-related issues and the decision to become a mother prompted her
to leave Nashville for her hometown of El Dorado, Ark. Her family
recently encouraged her to write, sing and record again.
