Type of music: "Smooth and Rockin'" pop/rock/folk/blues, AAA . The band combines rockin' guitar, driving rhythm, groovin' bass and some soulful vocals to make a sort of rockin' poppin' stompin' kinda sound. Who writes the music? All of the songs are original, with a couple of covers thrown in for good measure. Amy Carr writes the majority of the songs but Lisa (her identical twin sister) has also co-written lyrics for songs in both albums. Also, Amy and Lisa have worked as a production team for both of Amy's CD's "I Divide" and "Blink." How long has the band been together? About one year with these members but Amy has had a band (in different incarnations) for the past 5 or so years. Presently Amy’s band includes: Brian Wismer on bass, Lisa Carr on backing vocals and percussion, Robbie Robinson on drums and backing vocals and Tony Winkler on lead guitar. Any fun facts that might be of interest? Amy started out as a bass player in a pop band. And aside from not knowing how to read a spec of music, Amy has the ill-fortune of playing most of her shows and getting off the stage to see all of her fans mistakenly go up to her identical twin sister Lisa. Amy ends up packing the gear while Lisa forges her autographs!!  Where does your band's name originate? It was developed before she came out of the womb, thanks to her mother.
