Amy Fairchild

There’s a good chance Amy Fairchild is your favorite musician, you just haven’t heard her yet. The Massachusetts singer-songwriter has been making great rock music for 20 years, winning many awards along the way. Twelve years after the release of her first album, Amy released her self-titled follow up, Amy Fairchild, in 2014. Her lyrics are full of keen observations about everyday life and human nature, which, when combined with her ear for melody, makes for an irresistible combination.

Amy stops by The Music Room to talk about the songwriting process, flying under the radar, playing live, and other fun stuff.

It’s always a pleasure to hear from Devon Leger, founder and operator of the Hearth Music promotion agency. Far from average publicists, the good people at Hearth are devoted to supporting the very best talent in roots, folk, and world music. Devon and his team are passionate about sharing great music, which is reflected by the quality of their products. Each hand-crafted package from Hearth is a labor of love, and a treat for the ear.

Mandorichard and Devon have a great time digging deep into roots. Among other topics, they discuss the Canadian scene, the relevance of CDs, weird colloquial languages, and talented artists of all ages. And, because this is The Music Room, they sample some tunes from Hearth Music’s impressive client roster.
