Amy Newton-Banks captivates her audiences
with her blend of acoustic folk pop that draws on themes of life
and love. Her music can be both uplifting and melancholy.
All that know her will recognize that her music is a true reflection
of self and character as she shines with the light of life. Her
music articulates a reality that comes with personal understanding
and reflection.
After several years performing live Amy has come into her element
and knows how to truly captivate an audience whether playing at
a packed hotel, café or an outdoor venue. Since arriving
on the scene she has supported big names such as Liam Finn and has
performed at venues throughout Newcastle, Sydney and surrounding
areas including The Northern Star, Lizotte’s, and The Lansdowne
Hotel, plus a range of other festivals and events.

With a beautiful voice and dynamic melodies it is hard to walk
away from one of Amy’s shows without feeling moved or in some
way touched. Her raw and sincere songs are driven by a single acoustic
guitar, which provides the perfect platform for her tales of the
world as she sees it. Based primarily on life experience and touching
on social commentary, Amy’s songs are delivered with vivacity
and thought in an aptly expressive style.
In addition to her solo performances Amy is the lead singer of alternative
rock band The Belle Curve who are steadily making their mark on
the Newcastle music scene, having shared the stage with Kate Miller-Heidke,
Black Market Rhythm Co, and The Seabellies, amongst others.
Amy has just finished recording her debut EP, “Stepping Stones
and Pop-up Books” a six track record illuminating the different
shades and light that Amy brings to her songwriting. Following the
release of her EP, in July 2008, Amy will be venturing up and down
the east coast of NSW performing a variety of songs, both old and
new, including those from her long awaited EP.
