Strumming Their Way into Town

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Now a successful singer-songwriter, Amy Correia first realized her talents as an artist while sidelined from a back injury that left her time to explore the guitar she had recently bought. She has come a long way and now composes music for the guitar, mandolin, and baritone ukulele and is poised to release “Lakeville,” the follow-up to her first disc, “Carnival Love.” She joins guest host Anthony DeCurtis today to discuss her personal (and musical) journey which took her from New York to Los Angeles – and back to New York again. Also in the studio today is author and Grammy-winning singer Rosanne Cash who will be talking to us about her performance series, Acoustic Cash, at the new Rubin Museum of Art in New York City.
