You're listening to For Harper (c) 2006

I am a Chicago-based Singer/songwriter performing mostly acoustic folk music— original, traditional, contemporary, and Celtic. I've played the guitar for over 30 years, and also dabble with the fiddle, mandolin, bowed psaltery and bodhran. Influences range from the music of my youth - The Weavers, Steeleye Span, Joni Mitchell, Steve Goodman, Holly Near, Mason Proffitt - to contemporary folk musicians - Scottish artists Dougie MacLean and Jim Malcolm, Bruce Cockburn, Sons of the Never Wrong, Chicago singer/ songwriter Mark Dvorak and (ex-Chicagoan) Jennifer Armstrong. Throw in some bluegrass, old time and blues, mix them all together, and you might be able to classify my style.

Sue Demel/Sons of the Never Wrong

"Amy Dixon-Kolar gives us lovely songs. Most are original, some are traditional; but each is her own, fresh and musical and artful. Her music touches us and quietly calls us to celebrate living; to reflect again on our humanity and on our community. Thank You, Amy."
