Her voice is often described as haunting and ethereal, but it's the writing that really separates Amilia from the rest of the new generation of literary songwriters. Likened by one critic to a French chanteuse in a candle-lit cafe, her songs set a mood. They are intimate and visual, like walking into a movie: indeed, given the cinematic quality of her music, Spicer’s songs can be heard in several movies. Equally at home from the cozy confines of Hollywood's Hotel Cafe, to the Kennedy Center in DC, Spicer’s defiant poetry never gets lost in the mix. Though she might be best known for her more poetic works, her live shows are really where she shines - you get to see all the layers coexisting there on the stage. Enjoy this rare opportunity to see Amilia Spicer up close and personal!
