Bio / Background
Amy Loftus is an artist. She has been a painter, a professional actress and dancer, and has been singing and writing since she spontaneously hopped up on stage with a local band while studying improvisation at her hometown Chicago's nationally heralded Second City. "I wanted to be a funny girl. I would sing as long as I was being a silly character making people laugh. But once I sang with the band, there were people telling me I really had a voice." Determined she could succeed at both acting and music, Amy moved to Los Angeles in and secured regular television acting work with a SAG agent for three years. She also found paid work singing covers in a wedding band. "We were paid to rehearse, and I got to do 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'..that was a big draw for me." Worn out by 2001, Amy sold all of her possessions, left Los Angeles and a budding acting career and toured over 40 cities in a van with the musical partner she met in her very first band.
↓ more ↓After the tour ended, Amy began focusing solely on music, and began playing guitar. She went to Nashville in the spring of 2002 for some scheduled gigs and hasn't left yet. "I realized songwriting had chosen me, and I couldn't stop the songs if I tried." She began recording her own demos of songs she was writing alone on guitar and piano. "As soon as I got to Nashville, I learned how to sit down every single day and work the songs and stand behind them." Amy met singer/songwriter and producer Will Kimbrough the summer of 2002, shortly after she moved into the rented house that became her home studio, The Creation Station. With Amy's digital board and Will's industrious, inventive spirit, they began demos, some of which were so solid they became final tracks on Amys debut record. In the summer of 2004, Will secured a band for the remainder of the songs and they entered The Toy Box in East Nashville with stellar engineer Lij. The band was: Will on guitar, Dave Jacques on bass, Craig Wright on drums, John Deaderick on piano, David Henry on cello and Jeff Coffin on flute. "Straight to Amy" was released independently in the spring of 2005. Amy was named Best New singer/songwriter by the Nashville Scene in their "Best of 2005" issue. In March 2006, Amy and Will placed third in the Folk category of The International Songwriting Competition for the song "Work to Do". Amy is always traveling to play shows and is not an act to be missed.
