Amelia White

Raised In Virginia and based in Nashville, Amelia White cut her musical teeth in the New England area, circling the same scene that produced Mary Gauthier, Lori McKenna and Sarah Borges. Her music has been described as hard rocking -folk -alt -art country, but her songs and strong melodic style rise above categorization.

Her albums "Blue Souvenirs" and "Black Doves" (Funzalo Records, 2006) put her on the map with national critical acclaim, steady non-com radio play, and appearances on E-Town and NPR’s "All Songs Considered." A few television placements further displayed her talents.

Says White of her music: "The songs come out of me hard and heavy-- regularly. They walk the line between neo-folk, raw, well-made rock, and rootsy pop. They have a lot of heart, and a good dose of intellect, and every few songs have political and social consciousness....sometimes you have to listen twice to get 'em, though some can easily grab hold of you like an old Hank Williams song. Some call them Indie Country, some Americana, Some Folk Rock. To me they are the stories of my life and love and what I see in my friends eyes, and in strangers' stories. They are miniature 3- to 3 and 1/2 minute films. Writing music comes to me like breathing and or eating, and it's as pleasurable upon completion as great sex."

Now with a new album in hand entitled "Motorcycle Dream," Amelia continues to prove that she’s a prolific writer with something to say and that the intensity of her cinematic lyrics will stand the test of time. She’s already attracted a partnership with Art Ford Music Agency (L.A.) to shop her new tunes to TV and Film. "Motorcycle Dream," was recorded mostly live in Nashville with Producer Neilson Hubbard and a small core band of her favorite Nashville and Boston players, most notably JJ Jackson (Dylan), Marco Giovino (Glen Tilbrook), and Russell Chudnofsky (Lori McKenna).

"Motorcycle Dream," explores addiction, political and personal bullies, her dog’s near death, stranger’s heart-aches, and new love. Amelia is known for her unadulterated live performances and charisma. She is a true artist and will continue to write and play her songs regardless of lack of funding, current trends, or gas prices.
