Amelia Presley - Coyote Howl EP (2023)

Amelia Presley is an Americana singer-songwriter now based in Texas. Born in Mobile, Alabama and raised just over the state line in Mississippi, Amelia grew up in the small Gulf Coast community of Franklin Creek, where many Finnish immigrants like her grandmother’s family settled. South Mississippi inspires a melting pot of musical sounds from Blues to Country and Rock, but Amelia attributes her unique style to her father, Jimmy Presley, who she remembers singing clever lyrics he wrote during her childhood. She claims her soulful voice is a female version of his. From the time she could speak, she wanted to be a singer like her father.

Amelia Presley’s voice is emotional and powerful. Her music combines the Southern Rock grit and twang that she learned from her father with a bluesy growl that can only come from pain acquired with a hard life. Amelia’s lyrics are complex, and leave room for the imagination. Those with similar life experiences find it easier to decode the messages in her songs. This has given her the opportunity to connect with other survivors and ‘imperfect’ people like herself.

Amelia Presley is thrilled to announce the release of her second studio EP, "Coyote Howl". "This EP is all about acceptance of myself after a short hiatus following the release of my most personal song written to date, Harm Nobody Else. I needed to regroup after talking publicly about very personal details surrounding that single. Healing looks different for everyone. Discovering a more healed version of myself was part of the journey, and Coyote Howl is the page I'm on now."
