Singer-songwriter to perform, talk to high school students

Global singer-songwriter Amy Kuney, who has appeared on the TV shows "One Tree Hill" and "Gilmore Girls," is scheduled to talk about her career Nov. 4 at Streetsboro High School as part of the bi-annual "Poetry Slam."
The artist, who lives in Los Angeles, has been touring the country for a year, during which she's played at schools, graduation parties and summer camps. This will be her first appearance in Ohio.
Kuney said students seem to respond to her music, which she describes as "Fiona Apple meets Norah Jones meets Sarah McLachlan."
"I feel like I really connect with the kids because I feel that a lot of time they're overlooked," the 24-year-old said. "It's interesting to see. When they hear my songs they perk up."
According to teacher Jim Boardwine, students enrolled in English, journalism, songwriting and pop music classes, which account for about half of the high school's 750 students, will attend. Kuney is scheduled to perform three times during the school day at the Poetry Slam, an all-day event when students and teachers can read poetry and other literary works. gilmore girls dvd
