Amy Wolter

Amy has been performing on-stage herself for over two decades. Her experience is vast and varied, running the gamut from keyboardist to soloist, to lead singer in several bands. Her journey, which began in churches and coffeehouses, took a turn for awhile to clubs doing covers of top 40 tunes, then eventually led to concert halls and festival stages performing original music.

As the female lead singer in the Christian rock band Fighter, Amy has sung in front of thousands over the years. The band was signed to Word label 'Wonderland' and released two CD's in the early 90's - 'The Waiting' and 'Bang the Drum'. (Husband Jim Wolter was the band's bass player.) Her songwriting skills earned the band several top 10 CCM hits, with 'Look Me in the Eye', 'Radio Man' and 'Alone with You' among them. Fighter ended their successful 7-year run at a festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil in front of 110,000 people.

Amy followed the Fighter records with a solo album, 'Hit Me in the Heart', using
several band members from Prince's New Power Generation. She wrote or co-wrote 8 of the tunes.

Amy has produced a few indie projects, as well as over 100 advertising jingles.
She's been in dozens of studios singing on jingle projects, many of which were self-penned, and has been hired for albums and demo sessions as a background
vocalist.

With this multi-layered background under her feet, Amy definitely has something to offer other performers who simply want to be better. "I've learned by doing, and know the importance of connecting with an audience. If the audience doesn't enjoy watching you, then what's the point of them seeing you live?" says Amy. "The ideas and tools Tom Jackson presents are in sync with what I've experienced personally, and I'm excited about passing that on to any artist that wants to excel as a performer."

Amy is based in the Nashville area…she and her husband Jim make their home in Franklin, TN. She sings on the worship team at GracePointe Church in Brentwood, and continues her songwriting.

Testimonials

"What Amy Wolter did with our band in two weekends was nothing short of a miracle. She came in and took some ragamuffin musicians and turned us into entertainers. There is a distinct difference between just being a good musician and being a crowd pleasing performer, and she helped us cross that line. In two days Amy totally revamped our entire stage show, helping us to create several of those "magical moments" that stick with the audience for a lifetime. I recently watched footage from an old concert and compared it to video we shot while working with Amy. The difference was so drastic, it really looked like two totally different bands. She managed to get several of my guys to come out of their shells and act like rock stars, something I could never have done on my own.

Thanks to Amy's instruction on emphasis, over-exaggeration, motions, crowd engagement, entertainment, and having fun; the band is one major step closer to where we want to be!"

"While we are not seeking record labels or full time music careers, our group of nine vocalists, keyboard, guitar and percussion had basically reached the limit of my skills as a leader but still had what I felt was unrealized potential. Though hesitatant at first to follow through...it proved to be one of the best moves our group has ever made. Even as we were setting up our equipment the morning of the session, it only took about 30 minutes of working with Amy for any doubts to evaporate and new facets of the group to unfold before our eyes. She was able to establish an immediate rapport with all twelve of us and visible instant results released the energy needed to escape the plateau we had reached. While this might be an obvious step for aspiring professionals and career musicians, take it from an amateur striving for excellence at the grass roots level of churches in America: Amy Wolter can help bring your group to the next level."

"Hello, "Kingsdown" had the pleasure of working with Amy Wolter at the 2006 Tom Jackson workshop in Nashville. Her knowledge and understanding of the industry and the artist was well balanced, and we were able to walk away with many new ideas for our performances. As we have been practicing what we learned with Amy, we have seen our live show take on an even greater face! We would definately reccomend working with her."

"Wow! Spending a day with Tom and Amy was by far the wisest financial choice we have made for our ministry in a very long time. This industry is filled with consultants making lots of promises, but Tom and Amy delivered tangible results. Throughout the day, we kept looking at each other and asking, "Why didn't we do this sooner?" We look forward to a very positive return on our investment!"

"Amy was awesome to work with. She made me feel very comfortable and pushed me to try new things without making me feel silly. She has great ideas and really knows what she's doing. She helped me create those "moments" that have made my performances much more powerful and moving. She is a sweet person, and I would recommend her highly."
