Heralded by Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Billboard Magazine and NPR’s “Weekend Edition,” AMY SPEACE was discovered by Judy Collins, who signed her to her record label and has recorded her songs. She’s the 2020 winner of the AMA UK’s International Song of the Year. “The Blue Rock Session,” her 10th solo album, was released in December 2025 and reached #1 immediately on the Folk Radio Charts. It is a truly solo acoustic project Amy recorded in 3 hours at The Blue Rock Studio during a writer’s retreat there. Her 2024 release, “The American Dream,” became the #1 record and the title track was named #1 song in the FAI Radio Charts for its first month out. She has been featured on NPR’s “Weekend Edition” and in a segment for “Marketplace.” Craig Havighurst of Nashville’s WMOT radio calls her “Sublime and inimitable…Speace has been one of [Nashville’s] premiere folk artists of the last decade.” Amy has played many festivals around the world, including Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, Philadelphia Folk Festival, Glastonbury Music Festival, legacy stages like The Grand Ole Opry and The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and is a favorite of “Mountain Stage Radio.”
A well-respected writer, she’s had essays published in The New York Times, No Depression, Working Mother Magazine, Salon.com and leads workshops in songwriting and performance. Her forthcoming debut collection of poetry, The Cardinals, will be published by Red Hen Press on September 1, 2026. In 2025 she published To The Performer: A Handbook for Singer-Songwriters. She holds an MFA in poetry from Spalding University.
ANTAR GOODWIN, a Philadelphia-based roots and blues artist, blends the grit of classic blues with the soul of Americana in his music. Before gaining recognition with his band, Antar Goodwin & The Faithful Sinners, he spent 15 years as a bassist in New York City’s vibrant music scene.
