It's been about two months since Amy Speace packed up and moved out of
the area and down to Nashville, but she is back in town and playing at
The Living Room tonight. Amy will be playing her mix of Americana,
rock and alt country with her band, The Tearjerks. Amy's
album released earlier this year, The Killer in Me (which will
undoubtedly be appearing on year-end best of lists), was born out of
the end of Amy's marriage. Sure, it has some introspective stuff on
it, notably the stand out I Haven't Learned A Thing, but also upbeat
numbers as well, including Would I Lie. Amy also promises to premier a
whole bunch of new songs as well. Since it's likely that Amy will play
fewer dates in the area now, you should take tonight's opportunity to
see her.
Amy Speace and The Tearjerks, The Living Room, 154 Ludlow Street, (F
Train to Second Avenue, use the First Avenue exit), 10pm, No Cover
