Amy Vee is a skilled musician, award-winning songwriter and performer, and veteran touring artist, whose latest work sits somewhere between indie folk and ambient dream pop. In 2023, Vee recorded a full-length live album with her 6-piece band in one magic evening. Her fans have described it as “next-level beautiful”, “as mighty as it is heart-wrenching” and “mesmerising”. Australian music journalist Stuart Coupe labeled it “stunning, powerful, emotive”. The album was a stellar addition to Amy’s long history of recorded music. Her sophomore solo album, 'Same Skin', led Double J’s Henry Wagons to label her “an enigma”. Between albums, Vee released five singles, including a collaboration on a song with element rock artist Spectre Tapes which has garnered over 1 million Spotify streams. As a soloist, Amy has opened for a diverse range of artists including Newton Faulkner, Luka Bloom, Mark Seymour, Renee Geyer, Vika & Linda Bull, Alex Lloyd and many more.
