New French Music Video

AmyO — Sat, 12 May 2012 19:36:55 +0000

I’ve just spent a week in the south of France soaking up the sun rays before I head to the Alpes for my next series of concerts. My month in France with my French band was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much Phil Crochet, Mourad Ait Abdelmalek, and Josselin Sebille for playing such wonderful music with me.

Phil (from the band) and I wrote a new song while I was in France and we already recorded it and made a music video. Well, he did most of the work actually, including recording, mixing, and editing the video! It’s very cute. I love it! Watch it here

Tour Update

I’m already three weeks into the tour and it’s going great. Right now I’m writing this from Lodi, Wisconsin, with a beautiful view overlooking a marsh. I have two more weeks in the U.S. and then I fly to France! New dates are still being confirmed for France in April and May, and for the UK in June. To see everything that has been confirmed through the end of June you can check my Facebook events. It’s just so much fun to see how the tour keeps coming together while I’m already on tour. The fun is in the mystery.

Tour Kick Off, Tomorrow!

The Carbon Conscious Tour starts tomorrow. I can’t believe it’s here! I’m looking forward to seeing you all out on the road. I’ll keep posting and updating so stay tuned.

Tour Kick Off

AmyO — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:07:15 +0000

Can you believe I leave for the Carbon Conscious Tour in only two weeks? I’m packing everything I own into storage, driving across the U.S., and spending two and a half months in Europe. So far I have twenty-one U.S. dates and seven in France and the UK. And more shows are being booked as we speak. I won’t be back in the San Francisco Bay Area until mid June. It’s a bit daunting, exciting and overwhelming. Please send your well wishes and good vibes in my direction!

Sponsors for Carbon Conscious Tour

AmyO — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:44:59 +0000

I am still looking for sponsors for my Carbon Conscious Tour this Spring. Sponsors could provide anything from actual money to perhaps a vehicle for travel, or donations to Carbon Tree Conservation Fund to pay our Carbon Offsets. If you have any connections to a business that would be interested or have interest yourself, please send me an email. In exchange for sponsorship we can offer some great advertising possibilities. Thanks!

Joni Mitchell Tribute Show

I just had a fun photo shoot for the Joni Mitchell tribute show on March 3rd, and I got to meet all the other artists involved. It’s going to be a great night. If you’re near Santa Cruz, please mark your calendars for March 3rd so you don’t miss a wonderful night at the Kuumbwa!

Carbon Conscious Tour

Did you know the burning of tropical forests contributes to between 12% and 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions? That percentage is more CO2 than the entire transportation sector combined. This is the reason I’m going on a 3 month “Carbon Conscious” Tour this Spring. So far I have nineteen dates across the U.S. And I plan to travel across Western Europe as well. Read more about the Carbon Conscious Tour here.

Holiday Sales as 2012 Approaches

AmyO — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:36:40 +0000

It’s impossible to ignore it. The Holidays are here! If you’re in the habit of buying gifts for people I’d like to mention that music makes a wonderful gift– especially my music!

If you order online, CDs can be shipped directly to the person you’d like it to reach. And if you do it now, you can still get it there for Christmas or the latter part of Hannukah. All four albums are available through CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/all/amyobenski

I’ve got some really big plans for next year, including a three month tour that will raise awareness about deforestation and climate change. Dates and cities will be announced in January, 2012. If you want me to come to your City and play let me know. Now is the time. I’ll be keeping you all very much in the loop as everything comes together. But I just couldn’t wait two weeks to tell you what’s in store.

Be in touch and I’ll see you all in 2012.

The CD Release Party was great. We had a full house and the band sounded stellar. Thanks to everyone who made it out and to everyone around the world who partied that day in our honor. Rumor has it some tour dates for 2012 are firming up. Stay tuned!
