Amy Kuney by Sascha Knopf
Last month, Duke of Straw posted on The Late Greats about Amy Kuney in one of his regular segments “Actors Who Sing & Singers Who Act”. I read it, listened to her, liked what I heard, and even remembered her scenes in Gilemore Girls- then negelected to post about her. When she popped up in a couple other places this week, I was reminded that she’s pretty awesome and I should post on her. So, here is Awy Kuney:
Born in Oklahoma (OK!), her family moved to Guatemala when she was a teenager. While there, she and some friends were kidnapped by rebels (who eventually released them). After this experience, Amy thrust herself into writing performing. Her YouTube video covering Damien Rice’s Blower’s Daughter got her a person invite from the artist to perform with him in Iceland this July.
Before its cancellation, Amy appeared as a troubador in a couple episodes of Gilmore Girls, and her music has been used on another CW show, One Tree Hill.
