Lori Amey evokes common experiences and emotions, deeming her music approachable and a cavalcade of sincerity and sensibility. Her stage presence is effusive and sprite in the folkful way songs, stories and thoughts are conveyed but with a borderline deviant grin. Lori's song material speaks to an audience that has moments of helplessness and hurt, scoffs at modern day events, and yet looks forward with hope. Most impressive is the way in which she is able to weave a wide assortment of influences, ranging from Radiohead to Diana Krall, into a simple and mystical tapestry of sound, which she has appropriately deemed as “Limitless Acoustic Rock.” Highlights of her high-rising career thus far include: playing in the Detroit Lilith Fair along side Sarah McLachlan, Bonnie Raitt, Indigo Girls, Sinead O'Connor and others; opening for multiple national acts such as Patty Griffin, Jonatha Brooke, Jeffrey Gaines, Over the Rhine, Joe Henry; being chosen as one of 2 regional Northeast finalists (1 of 10 finalists nationally!) in the "Soul City Cafe" talent search to be the opening act for Jewel's 2003 tour; and being chosen as 1 of 30 out of thousands of entries for the Northeast NEMO Boston Music Festival Competition in 2005. More recently Lori has received vast amounts of praise from RI Press
for her captivating performances and recent release of THIS LITTLE ILLUSION,
her 4th CD release and 3rd LP. Lori also won "Best Female Vocalist 2005" in the RI MOTIF Magazine Readers' poll and was nominated again in 2006 as MOTIF's "Best Female Vocalist" and "Best Singer/Songwriter" as well as the PROVIDENCE PHOENIX's "Best Female Vox"! Check her out
