Nashvillian. Singer. Songwriter. Poet. Teacher. Mother of a 6 year old. Mediocre cook. There are too many books on my bedside table. And I love moody British crime dramas.

New Menopausal Mommy blog up www.menopausalmommy.blog. I'm working on the sequel to the first book in which I chastise myself for writing about a great love story and then, post-writing, get divorced. It's about the menopausal single mommy trying to date and deciding fuck it, I like Netflix better.

In my happy place recording. Single to be announced soon. Hint: Woody.
I played The Ryman in Nashville last night as part of a celebration of Judy Collins' 85th birthday. She discovered me 20 years ago and changed my life. It was a dream to play that stage and an honor to do it with Judy.
My receptionist at my Drs office. Happy Corporate Holiday to Make Singles Feel Bad. Celebrate yourself today in a red tutu!
Are we all collectively throwing up our hands? It's all clearly unconstitutional. I'm tired of my congressional reps coming on socials repeating what we already know. I keep responding "do something about it" because ranting into the hurricane is just making us hoarse.
Went to The Nashville Symphony last night and had my mind blown. Read about it. open.substack.com/pub/amyspeac...

My son Huck just realized what word his name rhymes with. I told him it's an adult word and that Mommy and Daddy don't say it. With my fingers crossed behind my fucking back.
If you need me I'm the one at The airport With my guitar on My back, new Lipstick on my Mouth, dancing To Chappell Roan, My child's face In everyone I see
I used to be a grumpy morning person. Some called me aloof but I was just in fear. I've gotten in the habit of talking to people in line at Southwest and asking them about themselves. 99% of the time they tell me a cool story. There's a song in there.
Headed to Texas this weekend. Doing my folk solo thing. Gonna bring the new record, play some new songs, wear red boots from Allen's and eat some migas.
This is what's up next for me and I'm so honored to be playing this show with the woman who gave me a career. Judy Collins changed my life.
I asked Huck if he knew who MLK was. He said "He taught everyone to be kind to each other and then he was shot." And then he said "a long time ago black people couldnt drink from the water fountains. Now we are all equal." I hugged him and thought well...
New post. What's on my mothering mind. Www.menopausalmommy.blog
In the snowstorm today I wrote a poem and a song, learned a Dylan song and made a bean and kale soup. Then I stepped in my dog's shit. Story of my life.
New songs coming out of my new girl. A Martin custom 00014F. All mahogany. Bout yesterday. Wrote a song by 9pm.
Nice to see this today. Thanks Mike Davies and Americana-UK

I had a baby a month before turning 50. I'll be nearly 70 when he graduates high school, but we live in the moment.
Amy Speace underwent IVF and used donor eggs and said the pregnancy was "super easy." She will be 70 by the time her child goes to college.
