Heralded by Rolling Stone and NPR’s “Weekend Edition,” Amy Speace was discovered by Judy Collins, who signed her to her record label and has recorded her songs. She’s the 2020 winner of the AMA UK’s International Song of the Year. Her last record, The American Dream, was released October 18th and became the #1 record. The title track was named #1 song in the FAI Radio Charts on22 its first month out. Her forthcoming debut collection of poetry will be published by Red Hen Press on September 1, 2026.

On her new album, "The Blue Rock Session":
Recorded in three hours at The Blue Rock Studios in Wimberley, TX during a weeklong songwriting residency, Amy Speace makes her first stripped down, totally acoustic record of brand new songs and a handful of old favorites. “I didn’t plan on making a record,” Amy says. “I was gifted a few free hours in a world class studio and had just written 6 new songs that week and thought I’d lay down some demos of those songs and other new ones.” Amy tells that each song was “the first take,” meaning, quite literally, she stood to the microphone with her guitar (or piano) and played the song once and didn’t go back to fix anything. There is something magical about this kind of vulnerability and you can hear it in the performance and the songs. “I wanted to make a folk record,” Amy says.
