We first heard the positively sweet sounds of Amy Stroup when she played our 2010 Tin Pan South show at Third and Lindsley, and we have been enjoying her music ever since.
Listening to a song like "Chin Up" (co-written by Trent Dabbs) with its refreshingly optimistic vibes can brighten up any day. Then there's the beautifully poignant "Hold Onto Hope Love" that perfectly showcases the tender sweetness of Amy's voice. And the bouncy pop of "Just Takes A Little" makes you want to go out out and dance in the rain. On "The Other Side of Love - Session Two", Amy and Thomas Doeve have produced a wonderful collection of six songs that you simply need to hear and enjoy for yourself.
You may have already heard Amy's songs on Brothers & Sisters, Private Practice, Castle and Prairie Home Companion, where she was named here one of the "Top 20 Songwriters under 30".
Amy Stroup is by far one of Nashville's most promising emerging artists. Listening to her music simply makes you feel good. So, here's what you need to do. Download some songs. Enjoy the positively sweet sounds, and go out dancing in the rain!
