Amy LaVere is an acclaimed Memphis based artist, writer, bass player and troubadour. LaVere’s storytelling and songwriting is barbed and sharp, a delightful contrast to her sweet soprano vocals and smooth upright bass playing. The dark and charming writer has released seven critically acclaimed solo recordings with two more on the way in 2026. She has been awarded Four stars in Mojo Magazine, Critical Acclaim from NPR’s Robert Siegel, rave reviews from No Depression, American Songwriter Magazine and more.
Amy has collaborated on recordings with many other artists across the Americana landscape. Notable collaborations include works with Luther Dickinson, Valerie June, Sharde Thomas, Amy Helm, Sea Sick Steve, Todd Snider and Johnny Dowd. She has performed in venues as wide ranging as St Andrews Hall in London with Sea SIck Steve to famed Memphis dive bar Earnestine and Hazel’s with The White Stripes. There isn’t a room she can’t charm with her humor, wit and soulfulness and her craft and catalogue is ever growing.
