Amy is also a pianist and multi-instrumentalist and toured internationally for many years with celtic funk band "Mad Pudding". She currently performs with Vancouver-based klezmer band Tzimmes, world music ensemble "Vancouver Intercultural Orchestra" and her husband, Persian traditional singer Amir Haghighi.
