For the past twenty five years, Amy Ferebee has been honing her unique musical skills and delighting audiences from D.C. to Dallas. Noted for her impressive guitar work and powerful vocals, Ferebee transports her listeners with an eclectic mix of traditional fiddle tunes and country fingerstyle blues, choice newgrass songs and jazz standards, with some nice originals thrown in for good measure.

Gaining ground as a regional artist and constantly expanding her musical and professional horizons, Ferebee has recently joined forces with guitarist Steve Snyder, who specializes in solid renditions of flatpicked favorites. His improvisational stylings are a fine complement to Ferebee's established repertoire as well. Their twin guitar work and lively arrangements leave a lasting impression, and together they deliver top notch entertainment. To find out where you can hear them next, check out this site.
