Amy’s newest project with Chicago lyricist, LG Taylor and Canadian composer, James Stonehouse is now up! Lox and Bagel Girl has been recorded and released in digital format online! James did an amazing job, once again, with the orchestration and catchy melody, which go hand-in-hand with LG’s delightfully quirky lyrics! A bit tongue-and-cheek, Amy’s vocals and Boylan Sisters style harmonies are sure to bring a smile to your face and a spring in your step in the midst of this cold Michigan weather! ENJOY a free listen on YouTube here… Lox and Bagel Girl You can also purchase Lox and Bagel Girl on Amazon or you can purchase/stream it on iTunes, GooglePlay, Spotify and more!
Also, Amy’s band, Threefold Mercy, were honored to, once again, close out a great season for a Christian Artists and Musicians production, Fourth Fridays at the Ford Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan. Guitarist, Greg Vella, who was sorely missed at the last Fourth Fridays event, was back with his incredible stylings on the Guitar! The band also features the equally talented, Kevan McDaniel on the drums, Michael “Mo” Jones on bass and Amy Susan Heard on vocals. All proceeds from the concert will go to Rufus and Denise Harris’ Prison Ministry efforts. Thank you to all who came and be sure to support this wonderful event again next year, beginning with the fourth Friday in January! 🙂
Amy had a chance to try her very first Bagel with Lox and cream cheese, cucumbers and onions at Steve’s Deli in West Bloomfield, Michigan and grab a pic with the staff!
Hello my friends!
Once again, I have completed a new project with Chicago playwright, LG Taylor and Canadian composer, James Stonehouse! This time, it’s a beautiful, old-fashioned love song. I actually debuted the song on my recent Chicago area mini tour and they loved it. At one of the performances, there was a sweet, elderly couple in the front row who lovingly held hands through the entire concert and I couldn’t help but imagine them as the subjects of “Hold My Hand, Dear.” I really hope you all enjoy it. As of yet, we do not have a physical version but there are plenty of places to get a download online!
“Hold My Hand, Dear” was debuted on Chicago area radio yesterday!
Buy “Hold My Hand, Dear” on Amazon! (just .99!)
Download on iTunes!
Come on out to 4th Fridays Christian night of music event at the Ford Performing Arts Center in Dearborn this Friday night! Doors open at 8PM. Bring $10 per person to benefit Rufus and Denise Harris’ prison ministry. Enjoy all the free tea and coffee with whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate, caramel and all the good stuff! Then find a seat at one of the candle lit tables or down front by all the action, and enjoy good company and great music! Come in the main entrance and it’s straight ahead in the Michael A Guido theatre. Starring the music of bassist Dray Hill! Rufus Harris will also be playing, as well as myself. I will be doing music from the latest solo LP, “Meant To Be” and music I wrote for the Magic Carpet Theatre Drama Ministry’s CD, At His Feet, Women In Scripture, which includes original music, 3 acting scenes and other surprises. All of the artists will have CDs for purchase and would appreciate your support. I hope to see some familiar faces!
What a wonderful trip to Chicago area this past weekend! We got the word out about the new single CD, Auguste D and created awareness of Alzheimer’s Disease.
The first stop was Brookdale (Vernon Hills) in the Fireside Lounge and what a blessing that was to sing for the residents and I met a new buddy named Sam who wanted me to sing every song he knew! 🙂 I also got to spend time in the tiki lounge in the world’s second largest rainforest café! 🙂
Next stop was the Lili Reid Holt Memorial Chapel on the campus of Lake Forest college… gorgeous church! What a wonderful welcome from a lively congregation! 🙏💜 I had the honor of singing for all Saints Day and our music was received very well! Many sniffles could be heard during “Auguste D.” 😢🤧
And finally, the last stop was the Lake Bluff senior center in Lake Forest Illinois! Again, I made a new friend, Brigitta, who was very touched when I gave her a CD with Amazing Grace on it, which was her mom’s favorite song.😇
I had the pleasure of performing jazz standards and beautiful gospel songs with the very talented pianist, Ken Hall.
And of course I got to explore Libertyville w my hosts! What a great time! 🙂 Please consider purchasing a download of Auguste D and sharing on social media, so that we can do more of these mini tours and bring awareness to this ever growing, tragic disease that takes so many lives.
