Here’s what members of the press have been saying about Amy and her music:

Performing Songwriter Magazine, TOP 12 DIY Recordings

Imagery is Amy Roberts’ strength, and she flaunts it in her latest offering, No Miracles Today. “I stepped outside and watched the leaves fall down into a carpet of red and gold,” she sings in “New England Girl” as acoustic guitars weave around the lilting melody. “I am granite carved by reason, my bones were formed by every season.”

The humorously titled “Mistake #458” begins with harmonics on the acoustic guitar and light percussion as Roberts explains that she’s got more regrets than she does common sense. A military snare drum accents the lyrics of “Ready to Burn”—“I’ve walked the edge of the ice so it wouldn’t break … I’m going out to burn some bridges tonight.”

Even the most jaded of listeners will be seduced by Roberts’ clear voice and clever lyrics. With lines like “We’ll pull the shades down and order in / Have a conversation skin to skin,” there’s really no escape. And why would you want to?”

Amy’s songs stay with you…she catches you with tuneful melodies and keeps you there with thoughtful, identifiable lyrics. Her voice is a gorgeous sound…at once pure, sweet and powerful.

Amy Roberts is a very talented local singer-songwriter.

Painting such clear pictures with only sound is not a very common thing…Best of all, Roberts clearly feels the music she is singing. You can tell that this is something she loves doing, and her enjoyment of it makes the audience enjoy it…

Nicole Champoux, Least Complicated House Concerts, Seattle, WA

Our audiences can’t wait to have Amy back! Her music seems to cross genres – bringing folk, rock, pop, and some of the blues together in a captivating alchemy. Her songwriting is personal and immediate and there always seems to be something for listeners to grab a hold of, sing all the next day, and request at the next performance.

Here’s what fans say:

Songs straight from the heart, melodies sweet and powerful, heavenly singing — this is an exceptionally good CD. How refreshing to hear just voice and guitar! (You know, like you do at a concert? Some s/s’s do a lot of unnecessary studio decorating, none of which you’ll find here.) The is exceptional; I can’t wait to hear more from this artist. Whoa. What a talent. Watch out world.

Listening to Amy sing these songs, especially “Between You & Me,” makes me feel like I’m a kid just figuring out what love means, or maybe like it’s early evening in late August; that achingly beautiful melancholy that seems to make my heart swell. Sweet and poignant.
