Music critics have described Miami Springs singer songwriter Amy Carol Webb as passionate, powerful and profound. The nationally acclaimed acoustic musician is known as a Miami Herald, “One to Watch,” a Billboard “Act to Watch” and New Times “Best Solo Artist.” Donna Green-Townsend takes a closer look at just what inspires this award-winning artist in this interview that originally aired on WUFT-FM in September of 2004.
Amy Carol Webb’s, “I Come From Women,” is one of her most popular songs and typically gets the entire audience involved.
In 2015, on the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery March, Webb joined a thousand others in Selma, Alabama to commemorate the event that capped several tumultuous weeks in the American Civil Rights Movement in 1965. She also put the experience into song at the Will McLean Festival.
In a tribute to the Matriarch of Florida Folk, Margaret Longhill, Webb performed, “Oh Margaret.”
Webb performing on the Old Marble Stage at the Florida Folk Festival on May 27th, 2012 during a pouring rain. She received a request to do “These Are My Own.” As you will see in the video, it presented quite the challenge to the interpreter for the hearing-impaired assigned to the stage.
The pouring rain coming down also seemed like the appropriate time for Webb to sing her song, “We Are Made of Rain.”
