Amy’s best-laid plans to pursue a career using her degrees in French and Russian were sidetracked when she picked up bass guitar, joined a band and met Joe, a drummer. After graduating college the two got married, ran a drum store, moved to Seattle and played with a few bands while Amy worked as a veterinary assistant and barista. After a few years the duo moved to Joe’s family farm in central Missouri where they formed two-piece rock band Clatter. Amy also has recorded a Christmas CD with her mom and sister under the name Rosa Minstrels.
When they aren’t touring, Amy and Joe are tending their large household of cats and dogs and the 125 acres they converted to a wildlife preserve by planting native prairie grasses and over 7,000 trees. Latest obsessions include amphibian photography and crochet.
