Breaking onto the scene in 2014, Amy Wilcox felt her musical dreams were finally within her grasp. Years spent honing her craft as a songwriter and performer had finally brought her to this point – she was about to head out on her first national tour.  She had been opening for Nashville staples like Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Kellie Pickler, and Brothers Osborne, while also commanding her own residency at Third & Lindsley. As a principal character on A&E’s reality show, ‘Crazy Hearts,’ the world also got its first glimpse into Amy’s life as a musician. Since the release of her 2019 EP ‘West’, Amy has released an EP of cover songs, and is working on her next project. 

Raised in Virginia, she absorbed not just the music of California country-rock bands, but also genre-defying acts such as the Dixie Chicks, and Bonnie Raitt.  As a child Wilcox was constantly singing and performing at church and school events, fascinated with transforming the poetry she’d written into songs. Amy’s next stop on her journey west took her to Nashville, where she attended Vanderbilt, and found a musical outlet singing with Vanderbilt’s acapella group, The Swingin’ Dores. After graduating, she navigated her way into the songwriter community through countless nights at an East Nashville open mic. The support and encouragement she felt from other songwriters helped Wilcox discover her voice as a songwriter and Artist. “I was surrounded by some of the most amazing writers and singers, and everyone was working their ass off,” Wilcox says. “So many of those people pushed me to play shows and get out there and take risks. I am so thankful for that incredible community.”
