Amy Meyers is a recognized singer/songwriter in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. She has been playing in the Bay Area since 1991 and in that time released 5 CD’s of original music and 1 Children’s CD. Recognition and features include; KFOG featured artist, KTVU Mornings On 2, KPFA Local Artist Feature, West Coast Live, KGO’s “Best Music You’ve Never Heard,” Lillith Fair Competition Finalist, and West Coast Songwriters Association Best Song. Her songs have been played nationally on both college and AAA radio. Most recently Austin’s popular folk/pop star Sara Hickman licensed the rights to Amy’s song “Good” (from Amy’s Strange & Beautiful album) and reproduced it on her June 2006 release, Motherlode.
Amy released her 6th CD, TRAINS AND HENS in December 2006. TRAINS AND HENS is a Children’s CD featuring 19 traditionals arranged in Amy’s pop/rock/folk style that are fun for the both the parents and the kids. TRAINS AND HENS was recently picked up byIndigo Books & Music for distribution throughout Canada. Having taught the last 5 years in the Bay Area for the highly acclaimed Mary Ann Hall’s Music For Children, parents agree that this CD is long overdue.
Witnessing the amount of positive joy and influence the music and fun spirit of TRAINS AND HENS has had on its listeners, Amy began thinking of other ways to reach children through entertainment. She is now working on bringing that same fun spirit and education to the TV screen with a new Children’s Television Show. The Pilot episode of “Hello There” is currently airing on the Chabot Community College Cable Station (Hayward, San Leandro, Castro Valley, Fremont) and will later be added to Community College Cable Stations throughout California.
As a graduate from the theatre department at Northwestern University, it is no surprise that in addition to the club scene, Amy has appeared in several stage productions singing, acting, and usually playing an instrument or two. She was featured in San Jose Stage’s production of Return To The Forbidden Planet singing and playing keyboards and has performed in 4 productions of the highly acclaimed Off-Broadway musical, Cowgirls as the cello and guitar playing Lee.
As with any artist in this business, though, the road is a long one and Amy reminds herself everyday that it is a process. "This is just one door," she says. "There are many more to open." She began her journey in her home town of Dallas, Texas where music was a big part of the Meyers family. Her mother, Libby, was an excellent pianist and gained recognition when she was asked to "fill in" at the last minute as an accompanist for TONY BENNET. As such, both Amy and her sister began piano lessons at an early age. Piano lessons led to voice lessons and writing and performing original songs as well as enjoying many leading roles in local musical theatre. College years were spent majoring in theatre at Northwestern University and adding guitar to her abilities. After deciding that New York (Broadway) was not for her, Amy headed West to California to pursue a career in music. Now 15 years later, after 5 CD releases, hundreds of shows, awards, local and national radio airplay, and continued perseverance, it seems to all be coming together for her.
