Featured artist on Golden Wing (MM229)
Amy White is a fresh new voice in the acoustic music world described as capturing the intelligence of Joni Mitchell, the richness of Mary Chapin Carpenter and the intimacy of Sarah McLachlan.

JazzTimes says,"…just pure music... White continues to paint sumptuous portraits of life situations with a remarkable measure of clarity and color."

Amy White performs in duo with Al Petteway & Amy White:
AL PETTEWAY & AMY WHITE perform an exciting blend of contemporary, Celtic-influenced, original and traditional instrumental music on acoustic guitars, mandolin, piano, Irish bouzouki, vocals and world percussion. Their signature sound is heard daily on NPR and is featured in a number of movies and documentaries. During their live shows, this husband and wife team captures the hearts of their audiences with the obvious love they have for one other and the colorful stories about the places and events that inspired their music.

Al & Amy first began performing and recording together as a duo in 1995 and proceeded to win the 1995 Washington Area Music Association Award (WAMMIE) for "Best New Artist." Since then, they have become one of the most respected and well-liked acts in the acoustic music scene. They were Artists in Residence at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage and have performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the country.

After releasing an impressive collection of solo recordings, they recorded Racing Hearts, their first formal duo project. It was awarded the WAMMIE for best New Age Recording in 2000 and was followed immediately by their second duo recording Gratitude which won top honors in 2001 including an "Indie" award in the Acoustic Instrumental category from the Association for Independent Music. These recordings also led to several awards from the Maryland State Arts Council for composition and performance. Between them, they won a grand total of fifty Wammie awards in the Celtic, Folk, and New Age categories before relocating to the Asheville, NC area in the winter of 2002-3.
