Amy Holland
Amy Holland (born Amy Celeste Boersma; May 15, 1953) is an American pop-rock singer. She received a Grammy Award nomination for Best New Artist in 1981, following an eponymous debut album containing the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 song "How Do I Survive".
==Biography==
Holland is of Dutch descent and changed her name from Boersma to Holland (after her ancestors' origin country), because she thought it would make a better stage name. Her mother was country star Esmereldy〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Esmereldy: Slap Her Down Again Paw )〕 and her father was opera singer Harry Boersma. Holland's self-titled album, produced by the Doobie Brothers lead vocalist Michael McDonald (who became her husband three years later), was released in 1980 and featured the hit "How Do I Survive", which peaked at #22 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. A second album called ''On Your Every Word'' followed in 1983, featuring the single "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing"/"You're All I Need to Get By" with Chris Christian, which peaked at #88 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it also peaked at #21 on the Adult Contemporary chart. That same year she landed two songs on the soundtrack to the film ''Scarface''. One of the songs Holland recorded for ''Scarface'', "She's on Fire", was also used in Grand Theft Auto III. She later married Michael McDonald and sang backup vocals on his records, in addition to singing backup on records by bands such as First Call.
In 2008, Holland released ''The Journey to Miracle River'' on Chonin Records. Produced by long-time friend Bernie Chiaravalle (singer/guitarist for Michael McDonald since 1988) the album was recorded in Nashville over an 8-year period. Holland co-wrote 10 of the 12 songs with Chiaravalle along with other writers John Goodwin, Jon Vezner, and Michael McDonald. Other songs were also penned by Robben Ford and Chazz Frichtel. Musicians include Bernie Chiaravalle (guitar, bass, keys, drums and vocals), Shannon Forrest (drums), Vince Gill (vocals), Michael McDonald (keys, vocals), John Deaderick (keys), Tim Akers (keys), Stuart Duncan (violin), Tim Lorsch (violin), Dylan McDonald (vocals) and Dylan Morrison (bass). There have been requests for a fourth album, and Holland said on her Facebook that she will make a new album.
Holland and her husband, Michael McDonald, live in Nashville, Tennessee. They have two children, Dylan (born 1987) and Scarlett (born 1991).
