Amy’s latest releases include the 2-song EP *Yellowstone* (2026), capturing evocative, heart-centered storytelling inspired by nature and personal reflection, and the 6-song EP *Forged by Fire* (2026), a soulful, rock-infused exploration of how life’s challenges strengthen love, resilience, and connection.
