Jerome, Idaho. Better known as the town where Evil Knievel jumped over the Snake River Canyon, has a new claim to fame, Amy Trail.
This vocal and songwriting powerhouse left the painted canyons of Idaho to pursue her muse in the city of New Orleans. Amy first gained notoriety in New Orleans by becoming the first female to be awarded the prestigious Basin Street jazz scholarship at the University of New Orleans.
Amy's songwriting has the familiarity and wit of an early Carole King, overlain with "a most compelling vocal style, by turns sensual, soulful and powerful"-Ben Rogers, Where Y'at Magazine.
Shortly before Hurricane Katrina, Amy had just completed her self-produced debut album, had been a featured performer at the world-renowned New Orleans Jazz and Heritage and French Quarter Festivals and had finished filming the New Orleans music showcase, "Dew Drop Inn".
