Amy Bishop
Calgary’s own Amy Bishop has an instinctive aptitude to craft stories into song and deliver them with sincerity and passion. Her voice is a combination of smooth pavement and rough gravel, with the ability to charm listeners with her sweet tones; yet stun audiences with the ability to hit any high note.
She “wowed” Canada with her appearance on CTV “The Launch” in 2018. This opened up industry doors as she was quickly signed by both a booking agency and management company. In 2019 Amy performed at the prestigious Canadian Screen Awards in Toronto and has collaborated with Moby and opened for April Wine, Farmer’s Daughter, and Chris Cummings.
Amy’s captivating voice, engaging performances, and heartfelt storytelling make her an undeniable Canadian talent that we’re so pleased to present on our Saturday Night Special stage!
