Amy Stolzenbach

Amy has worked with artists such as Carrie Akre, Kim Virant & Glorious, as well as founding the all-female AC/DC tribute band Hell’s Belles. Hell’s Belles has racked up numerous awards and accomplishments, including meeting AC/DC and inspiring a near deluge of female tribute acts around the country to follow in the footsteps of Amy’s idea by paying homage to their favorite band. She wins over every person who sees her play live with her drive and passion.

On her new CD, This Fall, Amy took on the role of producer and engineer as well as performing all the instruments and vocals. Currently she is performing regional solo acoustic shows and with her live band made up of Seattle’s best musicians who take her vision from the studio to the stage.”

Various artists have done covers of her songs and she has appeared on many compilations, the latest of which is Blues Guitar Women released by Ruf Records October, 2005.
