Millan and Kenzie
Ashland Miller
Shawn Mullins
Kurt Stemhagen (Rockfish Willie)
Orange Hat
Orderlies

Yes, my brother used to play with Shawn Mullins back in the day - they used to practice in our basement! I opened for them in Dahlonega , GA. I think they actually opened for me in Greenville, SC - hah!

Many of you have chuckled at my semi -weekly musings sent to you via email. I decided i'm going to start posting them on the website and also on my myspace page

The Orderlies have finally finished their first CD entitled "Beautiful You."
Come celebrate its arrival with us at Legend's Brewery March 24, 2007!
See www.theorderlies.com for more info!

Hope everyone had a festive holiday season - I sure did - hard to be back in the real world. This year the Orderlies will finally be dropping their new CD - PTL!
Also, I aim to spice up my Wednesday night Shenanigan's gig with lots of special guests. That should keep it interesting. Looking forward to a fun filled and meaningful 2007.

I just got done with the final show of "Sordid LIves" - put on by the Richmond Triangle Players. I can't tell you how much fun I had and what a pleasure it was to meet eevryone in the very talented cast. I have a new appreciation for the theatre scene here in town - you should, too.

Anyway, Starting in November I'll be back playing my favorite haunt - Shenanigans. It'll be great fun to be back. Check out the big page on me at www.greenpub.com - looking forward to seeing ya'll!

Hey everyone! Well at the end of July I gave birth to our latest bundle of joy. Check out the pictures ifnya want to see her. I have been taking a hiatus from playing but have some interesting things coming up this fall. I'll be playing a show in GA in Sept in Dahlonega and more excitingly, I'll be in a play with the Richmond triangle players! Be sure to come see "Sordid Lives" in late Sept and every weekend in October. The Orderlies will be picking up after that. Thanks for all your support!

You may be wondering why I'm staying a little closer to home these days. It's 'cause I'm due to give birth at the end of the summer so my mobility (and ability to stay up until 2 am) has declined a bit. Expect a break in the action from mid-June until maybe September whilst I cook this baby up and get her goin'. In the Fall, you can expect the Orderlies to start things off with a bang as our new CD will be ready to roll out! So stick around!

Yep - I'm already ready for spring - I have been freezing! Staying kinda close to home this month - we (the Orderlies) are feverishly working on finishing our CD. It is gonna be good - so be patient!

Well, I'm heading down to Atlanta this week - looking forward to that show at Eddies - it'll be fun to be in my ol' stompin ground.. Things are going to slow down slightly for the Orderlies as Radcliffe is taking a European vacation until mid-November while John and I sit jealously at home. Maybe we'll record mean songs about him and his meandering...

So I just got back from a vacation in the FLA Keys....and I'm desperately trying to figure out how I can live down there for good. They do have tons of live music...and it's not "all Buffet all the time" like it used to be..
Anyway, we were lucky enough to catch a band called the Greyhounds at the Green Parrot www.greyhoundsmusic.com
and I was lucky enough to sit in on a song on harmonica with the band! They are great - check 'em out.

The Orderlies are furiously working on a full length CD. We have 11 songs basicly finished. The first 3 have been put on a demo for mass consumption. So, come to our shows and get you one!

Had a great time playing in Norfolk with Julie Clark - the venue is a little scary on the outside, but very cool on the inside. Hope to be going back there soon.

..and my allergies are BAD. I heard yesterday that pollen is worse then it has been in 14 years - I believe it! Looking for some great shows coming up and also continuing recording the Orderlies CD. Stay tuned!

I'll be featured on 3/16 on the Open Mic version of NPR's All Songs Considered. Check out www.npr.org/programs/asc/openmic/ for more info and to have a listen.

Check out the March addition of "North of the James" magazine. My big ol' face is on the cover and there is a 5 page story about your truly. I have to admit it has been difficult dodging the paparazzi lately.....HA!

FYI - you can purchase and download your favorite Amy tunes off of a number of websites. Tower Records, itunes, and dozens of others! So wherever you choose to get your tunes, just do a search and download your favorites off of "Back Down" or "Superblue Division Street!"

Wow - I didn't realize I was so controversial! Did you see my guestbook? Some UK teens must have been bored and wrote some pretty foul stuff - I really liked the one that said that my CD made her daughter kill herself, but that was okay because she was sick of "That tart!" - just wait til you play it backwards.....
Also, there shockingly was another person with the unlikely name of AMY HENDERSON - -hmmmmm...too bad missy - I can't go to the eye doctor without them confusing me with another Amy Henderson in town...

Anyway - keep writing - I find it quite amusing!

Welcome to my new website - I'm still tweaking it - let me know how you like it!
