Amy Evans is a Portland native and longtime backup vocalist for Kingsley. Amy’s amazing new single is called “Nerve” and it’s out today. Her equally excellent debut EP, Babybird, will be released on August 18 with a CD release event in the Show Bar at Revolution Hall.

Nerve, is a two-minute pop-funk groove about men who have a little too much ✨audacity✨. “I wrote it sitting in a Nashville coffee shop,” says Amy, “after I had heard a woman say ‘if men have nothing else, they certainly have the audacity.’ And I thought that was so funny it deserved its own song.”

Amy declares her influences to be Yebba, Adele, and a little bit of Amy Winehouse.

On her website, Amy describes herself in this way:

Hello, everyone! My name’s Amy.
I like to make things.

More specifically, I’m a model, writer, and singer/songwriter hailing from Portland, OR.

I’m grateful to see things through a strange lens of unwavering faith identity amidst a proudly hedonistic culture. I like to create songs to sing in church and in bars, essays to share with professors and girlfriends, and photos that cause my parents only moderate unease. I like to play on the spectrum between the highly intellectual and the wildly romantic, between editorial poise and dynamic mess. If you’re a maker, a thinker, a singer, a co-writer, or a company who could benefit from any of these, drop me a line. Available now for bookings and collaborations, especially if you don’t take yourself too seriously.

 

MUCH LOVE,

Ames
