In 2005, Meredith Laney and David Holtzclaw met at a Darrell Scott show in Charlotte, NC. They hit it off immediately, both personally and musically. Before long, they formed Amissville (pr. "AY-mes-ville" and named for a small town in their home state of Virginia), writing and playing together in venues throughout the Carolinas, including special shows opening for the John Cowan Band and Ellis Paul. Amissville shows consist of a blend of intimate original songs and creative covers.
They just released their first CD, Take Me Back, which is funded in part by a Regional Artist Project Grant awarded to them by the Arts & Science Council (ASC) www.artsandscience.org. Amissville is honored to be one of the 20 recipients out of 67 applicants for this ASC grant.
