Description:
With a voice that conveys both the brutal honesty of a changing California and the tender footed sweetness of its past, Amee Chapman maintains a meandering love affair with the roots of American music. Influenced by the likes of Lucinda Williams, Jeff Tweedy and Tim Bluhm, Chapman’s music is simple yet woven with the complexities of folks who just don't always fit in.
Chapman began collaborating with co-writer Nichole Robbins in 2002 and pulled together her 3rd release, Still Life, from this collection. Recorded and released in 2004, the album garnered favorable reviews from both print and radio press. Backed by her band, the Big Finish, Chapman's live shows are both whiskey sharp and dogwood tender. Chapman will release Grace Is Hell to Keep, her fourth album, in summer 2006.
Meanwhile, ACBF will continue to carve a niche in the Americana scene. "I don’t need to make millions. I just want to quit my job, travel with my kid and sing."
Amee Chapman and the Big Finish was recently awarded the Reader's Choice 2006 Sammie award (Sacramento Area Music Award) in the Country/Bluegrass Category.
