Lori Amey

Lori Amey evokes common experiences and emotions, deeming her music approachable and a cavalcade of sincerity and sensibility. Her stage presence is effusive and sprite in the folkful way songs, stories and thoughts are conveyed but with a devious grin. Lori's song material speaks to an audience that has moments of helplessness and hurt, scoffs at modern day events, and yet looks forward with hope. Most impressive is the way in which she is able to weave a wide assortment of influences, ranging from Radiohead to Diana Krall, into a simple and mystical tapestry of sound, which she has appropriately deemed as Limitless Acoustic Rock.More recently Lori has received vast amounts of praise from RI Press for her captivating performances and recent release of THIS LITTLE ILLUSION, her 4th CD release and 3rd LP. Lori's shows have primarily consisted of solely her voice and acoustic guitar; however, fans can now catch her playing along with a group of amazingly talented musicians - Lee Sylvestre (Electric Guitar), Dan Prindle (bass), Tony Parlapiano (Keys/Organ/Bass) and Bryan Kelly (drums). Lori continues to play for and dazzle listeners in prestigious venues throughout RI, CT, NY and MA, but fans from her home state of MI and regionally in the midwest will find that she returns each year - and anxiously await!LORI HAS OPENED FOR AND SHARED THE STAGE WITH THE FOLLOWING: - Sarah McLachlan (Lilith Fair) / -Indigo Girls (Lilith Fair) / -Bonnie Raitt (Lilith Fair) / -Sinead O'Connor (Lilith Fair) / -Natalie Merchant (Lilith Fair) / -Duncan Sheik (Michigan State University show) / -Melissa Ferrick (Common Ground, Michigan State University) / -Pamela Means (Common Ground, Michigan State University) / -Jonatha Brooke (7th House, Pontiac MI) / -Joe Henry (7th House, Pontiac MI) / -Patty Griffin (The Ark, Ann Arbor MI) / -Richard Buckner (The Ark, Ann Arbor MI) / -Alice Peacock (The Ark, Ann Arbor MI) / -Jeffrey Gaines (The Ark, Ann Arbor MI) / -Over The Rhine (Magic Bag, Ferndale MI).
