AMY STROUP
Some people just know what they were created to be. Singer/songwriter Amy Stroup is one such individual. From an early age, Amy has desired to write songs about the truest things she knows... the merging of life, love and spirituality
Amys roots began in Boston, but soon her family moved on to the south. She grew up in Abilene, Texas and there began her journey into songwriting and touring. Combining the thoughtful depth of Boston and the distinctive Texas style, she engages audience through catchy melodies and lyrics that explore refreshing truths about life, love, and spirituality. On both guitar strings and piano keys, Amy also engages audiences with original lyrics that go beyond typical lyrical terrain. She has a wide variety of influences ranging from Johnny Cash, Lucinda Williams, to Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, and more.
Recently, Amy released her third independent project entitled Chasing Greenlights (2007) The project was produced by Nathan Chapman who brought along Gabe Dixon and others to take the project to a new level. Amy has released two other independent albums: Here I Am (May, 2004) and Solidity (January, 2003). One of Amys singles, Almighty God (Here I Am EP) was included in Provident Music Distributions 2004 PULSE CD project. Amy was cited on the project as one of the Emerging New Artists for 2005. Additionally, Rocketown Records invited Amy to record on its Gloria Christmas album in the fall of 2004 along side producers Charlie Peacock and others. Artists such as Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, and Christy Nockels also were featured on the project. Amy has opened for numerous nationally touring acts such as Shane and Shane, Dave Barnes, Andrew Peterson, Shaun Groves, Geoff Moore and others.
Amy currently resides in Nashville, TN. She plays for conferences, college venues, ministries, and various special events. Moved to share her songs cross-culturally, Amy has performed in Baja, Mexico and Panama City, Panama for which she translated her songs into Spanish. In addition, Amy leads worship at conferences, camps and various church events. She plays both as a solo artist and with additional players.
Amys dynamic, authentic and acoustic style seizes hearts relationally and relevantly.

GREETINGS FROM NASHVILLE-
You may have vaguely heard a blurb or two from Bono, Brad Pit, seen a documentary, or heard from an organization or two about what is going on in SUDAN and specifically the genocide that is going on. When I heard about it a little over 2 years ago I had to take action. Here is THE REALITY IN MY OWN WORDS, WHAT MY FRIENDS AND LOCAL COMMUNITY HAVE DONE, and how YOU CAN JOIN THE EFFORT ....
