Amy McNally, also known as Amy McFiddler, is here to bow your socks off. This is why she is not wearing socks. She rehearsed, and now they are gone.
Amy is a professional fiddler, playing solo as well as adding her shine to Wild Mercy, The Tooles, Play It With Moxie, the Mad City Jug Band, and in her spare time, with just about every filk combo that ever graced a stage or a recording booth. She has been recognized in
filk with the 2011 Pegasus for Best Performer, and many award
nominations in and out of filk.
If you've heard her backing up other filk players, you know she has
some serious chops. She blends beautifully, enhancing any song she
comes close to, adding a mysterious sparkle that turns bologna in to
steak. But if you've never heard her playing solo, you might not
realize how much she was HOLDING BACK. Amy on the mainstage will set
your ears on fine, douse them with scotch, and make you beg for more.
Musically speaking. Not literally. She has more respect for scotch
than that. But the woman has SKILLS. She has been playing in filk
circles for a dozen years and playing fiddle for 25, and you can hear
every last bit of that experience when she gets going.
She's joined at Conflikt by Dave Perry, fellow Toole & mad professor.
Dave is a damned fine guitar player with a honey-sweet folk voice and
when he and Amy get together, awesome trouble is sure to follow.
Amy's debut solo album, HAZARDOUS FIDDLE, is available from CDBaby and
fine filk dealers everywhere. She can be found online at
www.amymcnally.com. She can be found offline at Conflikt VII! Will
she get in to an epic fiddle battle with toastmaster Sunnie Larsen
where EVERYONE WINS? REGISTER NOW JUST IN CASE!
