Faculty and staff may sign up for a purchase time at tables in the Elliott Hall of Music lobby. The computer system then randomizes the entries and assigns times to each entry.

Her other releases include "Under the Pink," "Little Earthquake," and "Boys for Pele" all of which went platinum. Her song "Siren" was included in the soundtrack for the film "Great Expectations." A recent Rolling Stone magazine cover story describes the pianist this way: " despite having been assured that your girl-and-her-piano shtick will never, ever play, you've become, as one observer put it, a 'moon child for lost souls and misfits' with a million devoted followers worldwide." Amos describes her concerts as "theatre You walk into my show, you walk into a world -- it's a film every night." CONTACT: Sue N.
