New Sugar Tour + ‘Fell Like A Feather’ on MERCYLAND

Amy — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 18:19:27 +0000

Hello from Nashville! I just got back from SXSW in Austin, Texas
with my band Sugar and the Hi-Lows. We had a great time playing
9 shows in just 4 days. The streets of Austin were packed with
bands, singer-songwriters, pedi cabs, taco trucks and lots of
folks enjoying the Texas heat and music. I am continuing to
tour in support of the new Sugar and The Hi-Lows record that is
available online and in stores and yes on Spotify. Check out
the new tour dates and what Billboard, USA today and Marie Claire
Magazine had to say about the release!

MERCYLAND w/ Emmylou Harris, The Civil Wars and more . . .

I recently had the opportunity to co-write and record a song for
a project called MERCYLAND: Hymns for the Rest of Us – a project
spearheaded by producer Phil Madeira. He asked several artists
including Mat Kearny, The Civil Wars, Buddy Miller, Shawn Mullins,
Emmylou Harris and more to be a part of the record. In his words,
“I was on my boss Emmylou’s tour bus in 2008 when a really crazy
TV preacher came on the satellite TV and caused me to wonder how
to counterbalance this bad PR God continues to get from his own
flock. So, I came up with the simple idea of gathering together
a few great musical artists singing songs written around the
basic theme of “What If God Is Love?” I mentioned it to Emmylou
Harris , and she said, “I’m in”.’ A couple months later Phil
asked me to get a cup of coffee at Frothy Monkey in Nashville
and asked if I would want to write a song for this very special
project. I said ‘I’m in too’. I can’t wait for you to hear what
I hope will be a compelling record for those of us who find
ourselves hungry for a different perspective in the Christian
conversation. The record will be available online and in stores
April 24th.
