Music Junkie Press: Thank you Amy Rose for taking the time out to talk with us at Music Junkie Press! First we want to congratulate you on your win for IMEA Country Entertainer of the Year!

Amy: Thanks for taking the time to interview me, I truly appreciate it… 🙂

Music Junkie Press: Your song “Sunshine” has really been making some big moves on the charts! It is a beautiful emotionally driven song, can you tell me more about it?

Amy: Sunshine is a song about the pain we deal with from the loss of a love one… We have that one simple question that seems to be the hardest to answer and that’s “How” how do we move forward from that dark place without the one’s we love and cherish… The lyrical message of this song is so powerful it moved me when I first heard it and took all of 5 second to know this was a song I wanted to record…

Music Junkie Press: That song really is very moving and I love it. You really show your sassy side with Redneck Reunion. I LOVE THAT SONG! That must have been a fun video to make?

Amy: Party Like A Redneck was directed by Alex Colthart of Raw Footage Productions and was such an extremely F.U.N. video to shoot… I co-wrote this song based on my REDNECK family so when we sat down with the director to talk about the treatment, it was important to me to have the inspiration behind song have rolls in this video so needless to say EVERYONE aside from the dancers (because we can’t dance like that) LoL are all family and friends of this redneck chick including all the toothless people… Hehe To be honest the shoot that day was one hell of a big P.A.R.T.Y. (And yes, the beer was real) LoL

Music Junkie Press: it is a really fun video! Do you have a video out for Sunshine?

Amy: We have shot a video for “Sunshine” which is currently in post production with release TBA… 🙂

Music Junkie Press: We will be waiting for that video. hat artists most inspired you when growing up?

Amy: Dolly Parton!!! I absolutely adore her… 🙂

Music Junkie Press: Do you have a specific song writing process or ritual?

Amy: No, sometimes songs come to me at the weirdest times and places and can take 5 minutes to write or 5 months, I just hope when they do I have a pen and paper with me to capture it… Haha

Music Junkie Press: I see you have a few shows coming up here in December, what else are you working on?

Amy: Currently I am in the studio working on my next single “Country Crazy” produced by the incredible Marty Beecroft… Me and my gang will be heading back down to Nashville, TN in February 2014 to preform on the Billy Block Show and The Performing Writers Showcase as well as tons or press and radio interviews scheduled for the upcoming months AND just announced we will be ringing in the New Year with a show in Scarborough, Ontario!!!

Music Junkie Press: If you could take a song from a completely different genre and turn it into your own style, what might you choose?

Amy: Honestly I have always wanted to record a version of “Open Arms” by Journey as it is not only my wedding song but one of my absolutely all time favourite songs…

Music Junkie Press: That is such a great song. I would love to see you record that. If I could peak into your Ipod, what artist or song might I be most surprised at finding in there?

Amy: Hmmmmmmmm well I LOVED Hanson growing up and I might have mmmmmm bop on my Ipod which might happen to be on my recently played list… Hehehe 😉

Music Junkie Press: I used to love them too. With the holidays coming how about some Holiday questions! What is the oddest gift you have ever received?

Amy: Hahaha no comment because that person who gave me the oddest gift will probably read this… LoL

Music Junkie Press: What is your favorite Holiday Food Item?

Amy: Turkey Stuffing and Egg Nog!!!

Music Junkie Press: What is your favorite Holiday family tradition that you still do today?

Amy: Every year my Husband (aka Mr. Amy Rose) Haha and I load up our 3 daughters and spend the day out at Drysdales Tree Farm looking for the perfect tree to cut down and bring home to decorate together… (I have come to look forward to this event every single Christmas as watching my children’s face light up with excitement as they each take turns cutting the tree down, melts my heart…)

Miusic Junkie Press: Do you have a favorite holiday movie or song?

Amy: Favourite Movie is Miracle On 34th Street and Favourite Song is O’Holy Night…
