Amy LaVere at The Social
Our friends at The Social in Downtown Orlando are happy to welcome Amy LaVere to the stage on December 8th. Here is a coffee break moment to get to know more about this rising independent music artist.
Amy LaVere’s newest album, Stranger Me, is a melodic concoction of blues, a hint of folk and lyrics of a broken heart. While Stranger Me may intrigue you from start to finish, the stories behind the heartache album of the year are just as interesting as the woman singing them.
Amy LaVere has been making music since 2005, while maintaining an acting career. (You may recognize her from Walk the Line and Hustle and Flo). In 2009, it was blow after blow for Amy’s music endeavors when her producer Jim Dickinson died followed by two of her bandmates leaving (one of which was her longtime boyfriend). Despite everything, she used the creative process to make an album that critics are raving about for its raw honesty and portrayal of human emotion.
“The creative process stirs things up and often makes things worse at first. I suppose by looking at things real hard, you can sort them out clearer,” she said.
Even though Amy is busy touring and promoting Stranger Me, she manages to continue to act and collaborate with other artists, like Luther Dickinson, Shannon McNally, Valerie June and Sharde Thomas.
Check out Amy’s Web page for a few songs you can look forward to at The Social on Dec. 8th! Make sure you keep a lookout on BRINK’s Facebook for free tickets to the show!

Amy Lennard-The Social-Be There!
If you’re in the market for a new musician to fall head over heels for that speaks the truth to her audience check out Amy Lennard. Deeply personal and extremely perceptive of human nature, that most are too afraid to recognize let alone admit Amy’s music exemplifies just this.
Hitting the road for an east coast tour ranging from Florida to Massachusetts with Stephen Kellogg and Jon McLaughlin, see this show for yourself at Orlando’s very own The Social on September 28th at 7:00pm.
Amy has been declared by cashbox.com that she is “…without a doubt in the league of some of the best song writers and story tellers of our time…” Make sure you listen for yourself and enjoy the honesty and realness that many artists take so long to showcase and then even more time to perfect. Amy is already so far ahead of the curve and her talent is all too apparent at the beginning of her adventure.
