Some people just know what they were created to be. Singer/songwriter Amy Stroup is one such individual. From an early age, Amy has desired to write songs about the truest things she knows... the merging of life, love and spirituality.
Amys roots began in Boston, but soon her family moved on to the south. She grew up in Abilene, Texas and there began her journey into songwriting and touring. Combining the thoughtful depth of Boston and the distinctive Texas style, she engages audience through catchy melodies and lyrics that explore refreshing truths about life, love, and spirituality. On both guitar strings and piano keys, Amy engages audiences with original lyrics that go beyond typical lyrical terrain. She has a wide variety of influences ranges from Johnny Cash, Lucinda Williams, to Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, and more.
