However, when the song calls for it, Amy’s voice takes on a subtle, yet distinctive R&B quality, which makes her quite unique in Country Music. She is also an accomplished songwriter and excellent performer, currently making a name for herself as the lead singer in “Straight White Trash”, one of the best and most popular Country bands in the Chicago-area.
