Post by: canadadawnskyandsun on June 17, 2007, 12:08PM
Guys I was at the show in Montreal last night (which was amazing!) and I was talking to one of the choir girls.... Her name is Amy Rivard and is actually Canadian! Anyway she gave me a copy of her CD called Cashmere. You should check it out!! It's so beautiful and she was so lovely! She said this is her first tour with Celtic Woman.. Check out...

Very lovely, I might have to buy that if I ever have spare money, which is doubtful because I still have more CW things to buy!  How did you get to run into her?

"Cashmere" is a great CD! Highly recommended to lovers of jazz, pop and any/all smooth grooves

Thanks so much!!! I googled her name and found her website.  Wow, she's worked everywhere and her voice is beautiful.  Could it be possible that she soon might be a soloist with Celtic Woman?  Thanks for passing on the info about her.

My wife and I saw Amy after the June 1st concert in Memphis. At the time we didn't know her name. We just applauded her for being a part of a fantastic concert as we did all of the group. Several of our forum members have spoken to Amy at concerts and following the Christmas in July taping in Dublin. Everyone has commented that she is a joy to talk to and is a great gal. After visiting her website I can testify that she has a gorgeous voice. I can see why David asked her to be a part of Celtic Woman. Hopefully she will continue singing with Celtic Woman and that my wife and I get to chat with her someday.

I wrote to Amy a couple of days ago and asked if she planned to continue touring with CW.  I also encouraged her to visit us here.  We'll see.

I posted in another section about Amy awhile ago. She is a very kind and gracious lady. She spent time with myself and some others in the airport in Chicago on our return from the concert in Dublin. She autographed my ANJ program, had a picture taken with me as well as with Joe from Pittsburgh, and gave us each a hug. I'm telling all my 200+ clients all over the country about her as well as CW. Amy, your courtesy and time are gifts I'll always treasure. I'm not a big jazz fan but am buying one of her CDs. I encourage everyone to do the same.

It will be interesting to see her song choices on her next CD. I believe this young lady can sing just about anything.

I would really love to here her try some of the CW songs we all know and love. I'll bet she could belt them out nicely on the strong pieces and capture hearts on the softer ones. She has a very expressive face too which I saw up close at the Dublin concert.

I just received her cd, "Cashmere" in the mail.  I am loving it! Thank you for introducing us to her! 
And, you're right, I would love to hear her belt out some of the CW tunes!
