A dramatic change in pace and emotion followed when Amy Green, fresh from Ohio, took the stage in the second act. The audience was not prepared for the sheer haunting power of Amy’s voice. Amy opened accompanied by the soulful chords of guitarist Pete Hill. Later, Amy’s husband and co-writer Jamie accompanied her for ‘Rain Song’ which was darkly atmospheric and reminiscent of American blues tradition. Amy held the audience captive with her passionate and animated singing style. As with all of Amy’s performance, little accompaniment was needed as vivid imagery was encapsulated by a powerful voice which could rapidly and easily transcend through all the ranges. One member of the audience commented that they would “really like to hear Amy sing a song in Accapella” and another “really enjoyed her acoustic version of Baby D’s ‘Let me be your fantasy’”

A refreshing range of singer-songwriters performed at the Que Pasa bar and restaurant in Slough last week. The line-up included two international performers on a UK tour. One from Boston USA, and one from Toronto, Canada.
Amy Green, who originates from Ohio, settled here in Slough just over a year ago. “I write my own stuff, I wrote my first song when I was seven.” said Amy, “I enjoy singing covers too.” Her performance began with her cover version of Wuthering Heights accompanied by Pete Hill. Amy uses a lot of movement in her singing, capturing and engaging the audience. She also performed one of her own songs which was astoundingly accompanied by nothing other than drums, played by husband Jamie.
