The Independent Music Awards Presents: Story Songs at Symphony Space. Amy Speace performs "Rider on an Orphan Train". amyspeace.com/
Great storytellers create vivid portraits that reflect the human experience and capture a moment in time; singer-songwriters shoulder the added burden of setting it all to music.
Part of a series of live performances showcasing past and present IMA artists, here, Richard Julian, Kristy Kruger and Amy Speace share their stories & songs on stage at Symphony Space -- a New York arts institution and home of the popular NPR short story series Selected Shorts. Hosted by the uber music writer and Rolling Stone contributing editor Anthony DeCurtis this sold-out event was recorded on May 7, 2009.

Got the huge pleasure of hearing [and meeting!] Amy at Seven Steps Up, a small venue in Spring Lake, MI. I have gone to many concerts in my time, but this one was the very best! The acoustic set was in a venue with almost perfect acoustics and Amy's set was equally flawless. One thing about her performances; she sounds just as good in person and live as she does in the studio. If you haven't had the pleasure of one of her concerts, get on the stick right now and order tickets to a performance nearby. She seems to be everywhere nowadays.
Sad and beautiful...
One of my favorite songs from a fine singer - songwriter, David Massengill!
I saw Dave do this song many years ago. I've been using it in my US History 1 class since then. Amy's right - this is one of those songs that touches the heart, as well as enriches the soul. Nicely done!!!
One of two songs that ever brought a tear to my eye because I have a brother I dearly love and has been my best friend my entire life.
Good intro Amy, That's what folk music is about!
phenomenal.
My uncle, my father and my aunt rode the orphan train, no one took any of them they grew up in the Corsicana Tx ophanage, my Aunt cried and cried she thought no one would ever love her because she had red hair.
Beautiful..... Thank you, Amy Speace and David Masengill.
The Louisiana Orphan Train Society, Inc. wrote a book titled "From Cradle to Grave: Journey of the Louisiana Orphan Train Riders." It's very educational. It has 89 biographies of orphans who came to Louisiana from New York City. See more at www.amazon.com/Cradle-Grave-Journey-Louisiana-Orphan/dp/1936707004 A portion of the proceeds go to help the Louisiana Orphan Train Society, Inc and their museum.
Great cover of this heartfelt song song!! Is this on her CD?
It does not get better!
How did I miss this?
I really like her voice, soothing, yet haunting. She kinda reminds me of Joan Baez.

Interesting you should say so! Long ago I compared Amy's voice with Joan's. At this point in history, I would give Amy the edge, even at Joan's height.
