Amy Banks (USA)

Reminiscent of the early greats, Amy breathes new life into classic jazz standards with her beguiling bop sensibility, refined blues stylings and delicately executed angst - a must have for fans of the female voice. Amy Banks has spent two decades performing as a professional singer, actress, and television personality.

Originally from Minnesota, she has appeared on stage and screen all over the world, but calls Pennsylvania home after relocating there to perform at the American Music Theatre. Since then, she has self-published and produced four music CDs, of which her third CD, When the Sun Comes Out, reached Chartbound status at JazzWeek. In 2004, Amy appeared as a host-commentator on TV shows for FOX and HGTV. Throughout the 90s she performed cabaret-style shows with Robert Ray and through working with him, further honed her singing skills. In the late 90s, Amy moved to Orlando, Florida to work for Walt Disney World Company - she played both female roles in The Festival of the Lion King singing favorites from the Lion King movie including “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” and “Circle of Life”. In 2002, after Amy spent four seasons with American Music Theater, she nurtured her love for jazz in venues throughout USA.

Ms. Banks alternates between exquisite clarity of tone, and rich throatiness, with effortless panache. Her deft note-coloring and -bending are classic. These, she applies throughout her soulful, original interpretations. As listeners, she and her solid, creative ensemble treat us to the knife edge of recognizing their classic sound, but never knowing quite where they'll take us next.
