Recently named one of Music Connection's Hot 100 Unsigned Artists, Amy
Regan is quickly becoming one of New York's most talked about rising
talents. She plays consistently to packed rooms at NYC
singer/songwriter hotspots including Rockwood Music Hall and The Living
Room and has received
rave reviews from Alyssa Rashbaum (MTV, SPIN, VIBE), Music Connection
Magazine, and numerous blogs. Most recently, Regan and her song "Carry
On" (from her debut EP "And then there is this") have been featured in
a national Hertz commercial, and she's released two brand
new singles, "Gonna Get Better" and "Keep You Warm".
Regan is
often compared to artists such as Fiona Apple, Joni Mitchell, and Laura
Nyro; her music fuses lyrical integrity with a pop sensibility,
creating a sound that is instantly accessible but will ultimately
resonate with the listener on a deeper level.
Regan grew up in
a small town in northern NJ, taught herself piano at age 11, got a
guitar for Christmas when she was 13, and within a few months was
writing music every day. She graduated from Skidmore College with a
music major in 2007, where she led a 5 part band, fell in love with the
Beatles, and spent late nights holed up in the campus studio confirming
what the rest of her life would be like.
Regan is currently
recording new material and touring, and will be releasing 2 singles a
month starting in June of 2010, leading up to a full album release in
Fall/Winter 2010.
