AMY LAVERE | 7:00 PM
 Amy LaVere's sound is a halfbred bastard child, the product of her background, her instrumentation, and those strange creatures the come out of what must be her head and heart. And like most halfbreeds, it is greater than the sum of its parts, and more beautiful than its parents couldve anticipated.
“The singer/songwriter that The Chicago Tribune describes as “a Southern girl thumping a doghouse bass bigger than she is and singing in a woozy, whispery voice that casts an intoxicating spell…
Amy LaVere was born in a small Texas/Louisiana border town, nurtured by musical parents with a passion for traditional country. Her family moved 13 times by the time she entered high school, ultimately landing in Detroit where Amy fronted the infamous punk band Last Minute while still in her teens. From there, her musical journey became a wild ride of impetuous travels, sudden elopements, and itinerant vinyl siding sales. The early ‘90s found her in Nashville as part of the burgeoning Lower Broadway scene, where she began to play upright bass as half of the popular roots duo The Gabe & Amy Show. By 1999, she’d moved to Memphis where the city’s diverse music community quickly embraced her unique style. In early 2006, Amy released her debut album This World Is Not My Home on indie label Archer Records to instant national acclaim. Two years, hundreds of gigs, and one big, busted love affair later, Amy went into the studio with Jim Dickinson to craft her much-anticipated new album, Anchors & Anvils…
There’s an underlying darkness that’s kind of ‘TWIN-PEAK-esque to me. Plus SHE CAN TRIPLE-SLAP THE UPRIGHT BASS LIKE WILLIE DIXON ON STEROIDS.” –Jim Dickinson, Producer (Ry Cooder, Aretha Franklin, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan)
