Amy Corey’s Music
SANDY CATHCART PROVIDED BY AMY COREY
“ Fintense or ferocious aggressiveness.” That may call to mind an image of Thor,
ierce,” according to the Internet dictionary means, “having or displaying an
the Greek God of Thunder with his bulging muscles as he fights evil and injus-
tice to better our world. Yet sometimes “fierce” comes in a small package, such
as Southern Oregon’s very own Amy Corey, who recently starred on the same
billboard with Dolly Parton, achieving Amy’s goal of becoming a country singer
and songwriter.
Born in Vietnam and adopted at six months old, Amy considers Ashland, Oregon
her home. Here, beneath winter’s snow-capped mountains and spring’s beautiful
green hills, Amy’s heart first turned to music. It doesn’t take long in her presence
to see that a big voice and a fierce heart shout out from a small body.
