Country singer and songwriter Amy Loftus will be playing at Charles and Myrtle’s Coffeehouse on Saturday at 8 p.m. There is a $10 suggested donation at the door.
Review for Amy Loftus:
Raised in Chicago (alumni of nationally heralded Second City), and trained as an actress and a dancer – she did her time in L.A., chasing the Hollywood dream – Amy moved to Nashville because "it's the music that brought me here, the sense of reverence for the song and for songwriters."
Armed with a degree in art and no desire to paint, in 2001, Amy began teaching herself how to play guitar. In 2003, she began playing solo shows and working on demos with Will Kimbrough that led to her first independent album, "Straight to Amy", released in 2005. Shortly after that, Amy was named "Best New Singer/Songwriter" by the Nashville Scene. The song "Work to Do" placed third in the International Songwriting Competition.
"Better", a full length album recorded live to two track analog with engineer/producer Lij, followed in 2007.
Amy is not a live act to be missed. Amy is currently touring in support of the release of her new EP Fireworks.
Charles and Myrtle’s Coffeehouse is located inside Christ Unity Church at 105 McBrien Road.
