Amy Gallatin, born in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, lived in several states before settling in the West, where she was raised. During her ten years in Idaho and Montana, she had the good fortune of being able to work at two of her loves in life: horses and music. Amy helped to organize the horseback riding programs and was the featured entertainer at various guest ranches. Her performing background had been as a solo artist out West prior to her meeting some Connecticut musicians while wintering in New England in 1992. The next winter Amy scheduled recording sessions with her new musician friends for her first release, Northern Girl. She also walked away from that studio venture with the nucleus of a working band, which included mandolinist/guitarist Kevin Lynch.
So, with the opportunity to tour as a working unit, Amy packed her guitar and moved east in the fall of 1993 to pursue her music. Four albums later (including a live album and a project recorded in Nashville with ace producer Rich Adler), Amy Gallatin and her band Stillwaters have taken the stage at some of the most prestigious venues in the U.S., Mexico, and Europe. They were invited in 1996, '98, and 2003 to tour several European countries. Their most recent performances in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark drew extremely enthusiastic crowds at house concerts, music clubs, theaters, country & bluegrass festivals, and National Radio. Amy & Stillwaters represented the United States as the featured performers at the European World of Bluegrass convention in The Netherlands in May '98. Amy is at home singing various musical styles -- country, folk, bluegrass or western swing; branding each song with soulful sincerity.
Live in Europe, recorded in The Netherlands, is Amy's first live concert release. This project contains material recorded during tours of Europe in 1996 & 1998, including selectionsfrom the European World of Bluegrass Convention and the Big Bear Festival in Holland. In the few years since, there have been changes in band personnel and, of course, the song repertoire has grown. Amy says,
"...Although there have been changes, those earlier years are still very much a part of who I am, musically and personally. Having the opportunity to tour Europe was -- and still is -- a dream come true for me, light years away from singing on the porch of the Idaho Rocky Mt. Ranch watching the sun go down behind the Sawtooth Range, or riding up to my gig at the Lone Mt. Ranch North Fork Cabin in the horse-drawn sleighs in the bitter cold of a Montana January night. This album is for those of you -- on both sides of the Big Pond -- who have supported us through the years with your incredible enthusiasm and "positivity". And for those of you who have asked me to record a song with yodeling, there's a couple in here for you too."
