Live Music: Amy Nelson

Event Description

Calgary’s Amy Nelson is a conduit of voices from the past, reverentially channeling the sounds of depression-era blues and Appalachian mountain music through the raw reality of an Albertan feminist.
Haunting and honest, gritty and passionate, Amy finger-picks her way through guitar and banjo tunes that bind together wit, beauty and truth.

On the Goldberg Variations: Since my first encounter with Bach's Goldberg Variations, the sheer power and endless imagination of this music has left me utterly overwhelmed. The Goldbergs are like a compass, providing purpose and order, emotional and spiritual guidance that resonates deep within. And let's not forget the sheer joy and delight of physically playing them on the piano.
