Hi All! In January I had a nice little gig at the Rockwood Music Hall in NYC where I was accompanied by Mark Marshall on electric guitar. I'd like to invite you to check out these videos of the gig!

The Light Inside

I've uploaded my new album The Light Inside on last.fm for listening! There are some full-length previews and even a free download of the song "Reborn." Some of the songs may be popping up on listener radio; feel free to help that along by tagging them!

I really appreciate the last.fm community and wanted to make it available here first.

Down within the Darkness (Live Ammersee Nov 2009)

Proper of the UK and In-Akustik in Germany plan to release my album, Heaven, Hell, Sin & Redemption in November 2009. It will be available for sale via their retail outlets. The agreement follows the distribution deal I struck with Continenal Records in May. Under the same deal, HHSR has already been released on Munich Records in the Netherlands. I will continue to support my album over the course of this year and next, and hope to go into the studio to record new songs at the end of 2010.

Hey all, I was chosen by Sam Gazdziak of the 9513 Country Music Blog as the featured "Freebie of the Week." I guess we can forgive him for misnaming one of the two songs available for free download….publicity is publicity!

"Freebie of the Week: Marybeth D’Amico has two things going for her that I like. One, she’s a Last.fm user. Two, she’s a journalist. On top of those two strong credentials, she’s an American singer/songwriter living in Germany. She’s got a couple of country/folk tracks available on Last.fm for your downloading pleasure. “Where I Lay My Baby Down” is my…

My last.fm friend http://www.last.fm/user/rebekkas wrote a lovely review of Regina Spektor's new album "Far" in German. Here's the English translation, so more people can enjoy it. If you read German, Rebekka has a good music blog at

Regina Spektor's Far

Regina Spektor has come far in recent years with her albums 11:11, Soviet Kitsch and Begin to Hope. Now comes Far, which features 13 songs out of the 700 that she is rumored to have written. The sixth studio album of this musician who calls New York her home illustrates her individuality and high level of…

I've got three lovely versions of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", have you heard them?

The original by Neil Young, or the covers by Nils Lofgren and Kathleen Edwards? I like them all, but think maybe the covers are better than the original. Kind of tied between Nils and Kathleen really. You can get the Kathleen version over iTunes by the way.

As is often the case on last.fm, the news link to myspace is not working again. So I just wanted to announce here that I have recently signed a distribution deal with Wageningen, Netherlands-based Continental Records (formerly known as Rounder Europe). Continental will distribute my album "Heaven, Hell, Sin & Redemption" at it's retail outlets across Europe. Continental's distributors include Proper (UK), Munich Records (Benelux), In-Acoustic (Germany), Playground/Rootsy (Scandinavia), Hoanzl (Austria), K-Tel (Switzerland) and Karonte (Spain/Portugal).

I discovered Emily Jane White's 2007 album "Dark Undercoat" recently after I played warmup for her at a gig in Munich. Emily's songs are following me around, and when that happens, I simply must listen and listen and listen….these songs go into my soul at some deep level I can't quite explain. If you don't know this wonderful artist, check her out.
