Austin, TX based singer-songwriter Amy Atchley has a long history of performing in Austin and New York City since the 90’s. Born and raised in Houston-Galveston area, Atchley is based in Austin after several years spent honing her skills in New York City at legendary venues like CBGB’s Gallery, The Bitter End and The Living Room. A graduate of the University of Texas’ School of Music, Atchley draws upon a number of influences ranging from classical musings of Elly Ameling to the raw-edged provocation of PJ Harvey. Her backing band, which includes strings and horns (Atchley contributes on piano and guitar), is versatile and incorporates all of Atchley’s varied influences, resulting in an infectious indie pop sound that is fronted by Amy’s wistful soprano. She resides in a green community, where she is a prominent leader for social and environmental justice programs. She is mom to two teen girls and married to Austin’s “Texas Tenor” critically acclaimed jazz saxophonist, Elias Haslanger.
