"Amie Penwell is regarded by many in The Bay Area to be one of the next big heavy weights.” - Mark Langton- Marin Independent Journal

Hey everyone, I just got back from playing Bazaar Stock. Lot's of fun. Somojo released the magazine i'm on the cover on. Check it out! http://www.somojomagazine.com/modules/content/index.php?id=16

Hey All, I'm officially on vacation for 11 days! A friend of mine named David Solari got back in contact with me this past week. We tried to do some music together three years ago, but the timing wasn't right for either of us.....but now it is. You NEVER know how a relationship will play out. All I know is that I rarely control the timing. We begin this week at his studio in Marin where I live. I am over the moon -for this man is incredible with recording, understanding a room, my voice, the acoustics of any given space and how that can vary when you adjust something ever so slightly. Recording is one big science experiment. I am so hungry to collaborate with people of great talent and those prayers are being answered daily. Ben Lienbach and I will begin working on one of his compositions in a few weeks. It''ll be a sexy song-kind of like What Would Love Do , but with a nastier groove. I am determined to experience as much of the music spectrum, with as many different producers and musicians as possible. It's unfolding beautifully without my grubby little paws all over it! Next challenge....MARKETING.....

I am getting asked a lot what I am up to.....Magazine Cover?

http://www.somojomagazine.com/modules/content/index.php?id=16
Wow! What's next Aim?

I am raising $15,000.00 to record my new material. I am looking for different producers to work with to create as much of a variety in my music as possible, as well as remixing the older material.

DVA Productions and I have teamed up to do s 5 part mini documentary/commercial on whats happening in my career and where I've been and where I'm going. I'll be releasing those one by one over a period of time and hopefully at the end have some new material produced and recorded.

Laurel Reddington, one of the best radio DJ's in the country is playing my music a lot on her station in Martha's Vinyard. http://www.MVYradio.com This is a big deal. Having the support of that kind of radio station really cool.

Harwood Podcast Network
www.HarwoodPodcast.com has invited me to do an interview and a few songs for their new music podcast it is available in 80 countries and growing fast.

I am chomping at the bit to get back into the studio. The new songs are cooked enough to record. I'm looking forward to their birth.

Hey Everyone,

I just sent out the first of two contracts to a publishing company named SBMP (South Beach Music Publishing) that requested my entire library for use all over Asia and Australia. This means I will get paid. This is lovely and new! My career is taking a turn. I am focusing on licensing and publishing for a while, getting myself added to as many publishing libraries as possible for commercial/TV/Film work and writing for other artists. Since I made this decision a few weeks ago three companies have picked up my songs. It feels right.

I get to play Bazaar Stock tomorrow Feb. 27th. KC Turner began this festival last year and it ended up being my favorite gig of the year. I got my start performing in front of people at the Bazaar. You are only aloud to play original acoustic music. It is a listening room and a great place to be a part of. I am grateful such a place exists. The SF music scene is really cool right now. There are so many great songwriters here right now. A supportive lot. It's relieving to feel some clarity about my musical direction. Even nicer to have it supported.

I am happy to announce that I have been added to 3 radio shows on WOMEN OF SUBSTANCE RADIO and will be played weekly for the next three months!

Ok, so I don't know where it'll be placed yet, but Note Born Music, a publishing company has added my song "What Would Love Do" to their music library, and have told me that they already have a home for it.

I have waited 10 years for this, and hope it is just the beginning of my songs being placed in TV/Film/Commercials. I don't see any other way of recouping the vast fortune I have spent making music.

I'll keep you posted about where it lands.....

Thank you to all who came out last night to Yoshi's to support us. We had a full house and got it all on film. DVA Productions was there to capture the event and to help me create a bio/concert video. Very grateful to work with people who are great at what they do.

Amie is back in the studio with Ben Leinbach this week to begin recording her follow up to her critically acclaimed 2008 release "King In a Temple".

Amie will be featured on the cover of UK online Somojo Magazine Mid Winter edition. Out in mid January.

Hello, Hello,

This is an Amie Penwell professional progress report as well as a performance alert and there is much to report indeed! I have been so busy on all fronts (moving, writing, working) that I almost forgot I had a show this Saturday.



Along with having my portrait painted by Master Painter Dan Fontes for the Pin Ball Pin up girl promo for this years Pin Ball Exposition (say that 3 times fast) Yup, my mug and embellished chest size will be plastered all over The Bay Area in the weeks to come.



I have joined forces with drummer Andy Korn (Ronnie Specktor's drummer for the past 13 years), and Bass player Brahm Sheray to build the band of my dreams. (think Radiohead meets Sade). Needless to say I was honored by their approaching me last month to help me build on my project.



Another honor came when I was invited by a Humboldt State University's program contributor Maria Bartlett to be interviewed for a show called "Through The Eyes of Woman" I am to be the first artist featured for this month long series on woman in music. It's a You can tune in online at:

Hey everyone. I am beginning the footwork with a booking agent for some summer dates in Massachusetts, NYC, and the Pacific North West.

The college radio campaign is over and King In a Temple is being played on 125 stations nation wide. It charted top twenty on 5 of the stations!

I have been writing a lot for my next record, working with Bass player Matt Penwell . He will be joining me along with a drummer (TBA) for the summer dates in Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver.

I'll let you know more as things flush out...

Amie Penwell, King in a Temple

February 20, 2009

Singer/Songwriter/Pianist/Producer, Amie Penwell takes full credit for all except two songs on King in a Temple. This talented musician brings you down to the real nitty-gritty of music with her soulful approach. On the verge of gospel and pop, but just real true-to-heart soul singing represents Penwell and her latest work.

Other artists on the album include: Grammy-nominated producer, Ben Leinbach, who also contributes the drums, percussion, drum programming and bass—Chris Haugen on guitars/mandolin/acoustic dulcimer and last but not least Margot Holtzman on viola. The backing instruments to Penwell’s signature voice are right on tune here. Each artist complimented one another superbly by adding a whole other dimension to the sound.

Right away from Amie Penwell, I hear gut-wrenching emotion belted out in such a deep and sincere way. The funny part though is that Penwell is pouring herself out at you, but in such quiet fashion. Her tone is consistently soft-spoken throughout the record, but performed with such powerful conviction. The entire album is revolved around the loss of a person close to Penwell’s heart. She takes you on a trip of what she’s feeling first-hand, which makes for an enlightening experience. “Show me to the river, somewhere to wash away this feeling” captures the true spirit of King in a Temple right from the start.

10 well-performed and well-versed songs can be heard featuring one live cut, “Old Widow Maker” along with a Talking Heads cover, “Naïve Melody”. Definitely watch out for this indie artist as she displays high potential on her latest release. Amie Penwell seems to be an artist with an honest-to-truth sound and is on pace to Humanize the music world.

Yup, that's me.

Do I like pinball? Not really. I guess it's cool, but I have a friend Dan Fontes who is obsessed with pinball. One of the finest painters I can think of, he was commissioned to do the poster for the Pin Ball Exposition that happens every year here in the Bay Area.

I will be the pin ball pin up girl this year on billboards and sides of San Fransisco buses. No, this is not a job I thought i'd ever be asked to do, but in the spirit of saying yes to all things creative with extraordinary artists.... I said yes.

I'll post it when it's done.

I have downloaded the radio podcast of a radio interview I did a few days ago. THe show is called "Lyrical Venus"

The college radio campaign with Planetary Group has begun this week and I got my first report of King's progress on it's first college radio campaign.

I am ecstatic to report that it is being played in heavy rotation and beginning to actually chart on some of the larger radio stations.

I finished up my coaching sessions with Eugene Foley of Foley Entertainment NY. An opportunity that came through the very generous creator of CDBABY Derek Sivers. I have signed on with Eugene to manage me and I am acutely clear that I am in good hands.

I couldn't ask for a better guide.... More soon!
