Amy’s Wish Amy’s Wish was formed in the Fall of 2021 in Rochester New York under the direction of Amy’s father Gary Schnitzler. The band is inspired by the life of Amy Schnitzler. Amy’s life was full with her generosity and wonder. She graduated from Nazareth College in Rochester with a degree in vocal performance. She had the ability to sing to the world. Opera and Broadway musicals were her favorites. At the young age of 26 years, she was accepted into the Roosevelt College of Performing Arts in Chicago. Shortly after that, she discovered she had cancer. She passed away at the age of 30. Our music is Jazz, Rock and Blues based.
