Amie Scheitel is a blooming country music singer and songwriter based in Washington state who has crafted a splendid catalog of heartfelt and expressive songs since her emergence on the scene in 2020, including last year’s 7-track full length album, Grow. Amie continues to expand her flourishing music journey with a new single release, her first of 2022, titled “Small Town Dust”, co-written by Marilyn Oakley and Carlene Wentworth.

“Small Town Dust” is a wondrously personal song which embraces small town values and culture while also being tremendously insightful in depicting the small-town way of life as Amie has experienced it, while the song can also be considered an ode to country music. The song and composition are extremely engaging and carries the quintessential country music soundscape that is warm and conveys a ‘down-home” feeling. A wistful and reflective guitar lead drives the mellow energy of the track while Amie’s angelic vocals gently ride the wave of the instrumentation.

The evolution of how “Small Town Dust” came to fruition is quite fascinating as it is surrounded by a number of significant events in Amie’s life, both joyous and tragic. Amie explains in detail below how these events shaped her motivation to do the song and ultimately the deep emotions that they conjured up during the recording process.

The amazing songwriters of “Small Town Dust”, Marilyn and Carlene had a demo of the song which I heard and fell immediately in love with. I loved the lyrics and country vibe of the song and felt it would be a good addition to my country music releases.

I inquired with Marilyn to see if perhaps she felt I could be the artist to release the single. She said “yes” so I went forward with production with my producer Ben Travis of Two Cats Music.

I had started talking to the songwriters about releasing this song in August 2021 and didn’t release the song until March 2022 as I had a few major life happenings. I found out I was pregnant October 11th, and my mother unexpectedly passed away the next day October 12th at the ever so young age of 57, cause unknown. I did get to tell her that I was expecting and in her last words to me she told me she loved me. I got married in November to the love of my life, and by the time I got to thinking it was time to release this song, I realized I hadn’t properly grieved my mother’s death. Every time I would sing the song, I would just cry as part of the lyrics say “we talk to our mamas in our flannel pajamas” and as you can imagine it was hard for me to sing without becoming emotional. By March, it was the right time to release Small Town Dust.
