“Forceful, funny, powerful and poetic, Ami Williamson is a Folk Singer/Songwriter like no other!” (Sydney Morning Herald)
Ami Williamson is one of those rare female singers. While her roots are firmly in the tradition of singer/songwriter, her richly diverse upbringing had Ami taking the stage not only in opera and classical, but also touring with her father, legendary country music artist John Williamson.
After high school Ami was accepted into the prestigious Sydney Conservatorium of Music where she studied classical singing and piano for 6 years, and then went on to win a scholarship to further her studies at a renowned music school in Germany.
Upon her return home Ami was accepted into Opera Australia, and then turned to her first love – songwriting. She had always written poetry in her youth and therefore the combination of music and words came naturally to her. Ami then wrote and released her debut album Close to Home.
Today, after many albums and concerts, Ami’s celebrated “One Woman Show” has been performed at major festivals and venues in Australia and abroad including Port Fairy Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and The National Folk Festival.
”Ami Williamson is my favorite Australian act!” (International Folk Icon Judy Collins)
Ami’s show has been described as a ‘roller coaster of fun’, showcasing her many talents as an accomplished singer, songwriter, musician and storyteller. Her songs are wicked, poignant and sometimes downright hilarious – matched by her brilliant, versatile voice and flamboyant stage presence.
“She’s a class act ….. Ami quite simply created a buzzfest!” (Port Fairy Folk Festival)
