Amy Lowrey

Amy Lowrey is a jazz singer who also loves making new arrangements of pop tunes.  For her album Fallen for You, she chose songs with a strong narrative personality, including the Duke Ellington jazz standard "Do Nothing Till you Hear from Me," Sheila Nicholls' "Fallen for You" about the longing for a love that will never happen, as well as the deeply resonant "It’s Not" by Aimee Mann, about the hesitation that can hold you back just when you want to move ahead.

Originally from Louisiana, Amy studied Modern Poetry and danced at Yale University;  worked for The Nation Magazine in Washington, DC before moving to Austin, Texas to join Governor Ann Richards staff and being happily shocked at the amount of talented, prolific musicians living, composing and performing in Austin.  After working at Richard Linklater’s Detour Filmproduction, she began studying acting and vocal performace and found she loved jazz, especially swing.

Produced by Mady Kaye and recorded and mixed by The Eastside Flash at Flashpoint Studios in Austin, Fallen for You features jazz swing tunes in minor keys, as well as vintage and contemporary pop tunes, with new arrangements.  Amazing Austin musicians, including guitarist Mitch Watkins and saxophonist John Mills among others--well, all of them are terrific.

Amy appeared opposite Cobie Smulders in director Andrew Bujalski's film, Results.

She performs Duke Ellington’s “Beginning to See the Light” on the soundtrack of Monika Petrillo’s film by the same name on The Seven Tones Project, a quarantine inspired film series that can be found on YouTube.
