“The Trees Are Glad You’re Back”, is the first full-length release by
budding piano goddess Amy Seeley. “Trees...” follows up the successful “Call
It Life” ep, which Seeley produced and sold herself, mostly off the stage. A
constant thirst for performing has carried Seeley to Europe and back, and
the miles have given way to a stunning and articulate interplay of emotions
and geography.
Amy Seeley is a gifted songwriter, crafting painfully vulnerable reflections
with an uncanny sense of dignity. Her captivating performances continually
strike an emotional nerve with her audiences. “Trees...” gives listeners the
heartbreaking magic they have come to hope for in any Seeley tale .
“Trees...” is the first national release teaming Seeley with her label,
Shameless Records Canada. Produced by Chris Wynters (Captain Tractor)
and James Murdoch of Norwood Studios in Edmonton, Alberta, the record is
poised to gather immediate attention from a burgeoning roots pop market. - The Edmonton Journal
“Oye. This is a beautiful record. There is nothing I can say that will do it justice,
having heard a few songs from an ep this Edmonton-based lady released a while
back, you couldnʼt be ready for the impact this song cycle will have on you.
A must have in your collection if youʼre a fan of pop music. “
- Luka Symons, host

Bio
Amy Seeleys songs unfold like a story you can't put down and end up missing your stop three times for. They weave their way through beautifully crafted arrangements that make big rooms seem suddenly small. Having been raised in rural Montana and now living in Portland, Oregon, Amy brings the beauty of the isolated backdrop of her upbringing to life through her command of the piano. Her greatest influence has been the music of Tori Amos, together with the elegance of Sarah McLachlan and the quiet, folk elements of Iron and Wine and Sufjan Stevens.
For the past three years Amy has been playing solo shows throughout Canada, and in 2005 took her songs to Europe for performances in the UK, Germany and Amsterdam. The miles have given way to a stunning and articulate interplay of emotions and geography. She has a gift of crafting painfully vulnerable reflections with an uncanny sense of dignity. And her captivating performances are continually striking an emotional nerve with her audiences.
