Although primarily known as 'Amy Bob,' goofy spitfire and sole female member of Grammy-nominated vocal quartet, THE BOBS, Amy Engelhardt cuts straight to the heart of the matter - and the grey matter - on her first solo album.

By turns provocative and pensive, NOT GONNA BE PRETTY is a collection of 14 original songs written, arranged and produced by Engelhardt, backed by a full band.

As a pop and theater writer beyond the comic boundaries of The Bobs, Engelhardt evokes artists like Suzanne Vega, Alanis Morrissette, Joe Jackson. and Ben Folds: Sardonic and smart without mercy.

Co-produced by keyboard wizard Bob Malone.
