In the classic tradition of such legendary entertainers as Bette Midler, Liza Minnelli and Pudgy, we give you Amy & Freddy. The unbelievable voice and side-splitting humor of Amy Armstrong combine with the exquisite, versatile musicianship of pianist Freddy Allen the duo brings a monthly show at the Lakeshore with a different theme each month.
Amy Armstrong and Freddy Allen have been captivating audiences for over ten years, performing sold-out runs coast-to-coast as well as in Denmark where they were the featured artists at Copenhagen’s New Year’s Concert. They have performed alongside Mary Wilson & the Supremes, Phyllis Diller, Bea Arthur, Jennifer Holiday and Judy Gold and are one of the most popular cabaret acts on RSVP Cruise Lines. Amy & Freddy’s lighthearted, tuneful performances are equally at home on land and sea: Whether it’s a corporate event, a Vegas showroom or a major cruise line, Amy & Freddy’s trademark mix of pop standards, clever originals and hilariously naughty banter is a crowd-pleaser every time.
Originally from Detroit, Amy has been a professional entertainer since she was a young child. Her powerful and soulful voice mesmerizes listeners while her hilarious and risqué humor keeps them doubled over in laughter. Amy made her home in Chicago in 1995 and has quickly risen to become one of the Windy City’s hottest talents.
Freddy, Amy’s pianist and music director, has been a professional musician for over twenty years. After moving from St. Louis in 1995, Freddy successfully made his name as one of Chicago’s most well known pianists. When not perfroming with Amy, Freddy works as a freelance musician and teaches piano and voice.
Amy and Freddy have produced four very successful and critically acclaimed albums: Amy and Freddy - the debut, Life is a Cabaret, Naturally Flawless and Feeling Good.
Amy’s beautiful voice, edgy humor and quick wit, combined with Freddy’s impeccable musical arrangements and sly repartee, come together to form a dynamic duo, presenting an enjoyable and unforgettable entertainment experience |
