While Hamilton continues to be the hot ticket on Broadway, few artists (okay, none that I know of) have even considered taking a song from the smash-hit show and re-working it their own way.
However Amy Lynn & The Gunshow like to push boundaries and share with their fans not just their own music but also the music of others which inspires and motivates them. For such a reason, she and her husband Alex Hamlin have recorded their own rendition of “Satisfied” from the show.
Hamilton has very personal connections for Amy and Alex; his great-grandmother Mary P. Hamlin co-wrote the 1917 production so the pair have immense pride in their cover of one of its songs. As to how and why “Satisfied” became their song of choice, Amy says:
Like everyone who has seen the show, I fell in love with Hamilton. Watching it made me feel proud to be from a family of Latin American immigrants who pursued their dreams of a better life and their love for this country. The show’s seamless blend of music genres embodies the best of American qualities, a culture melting pot that inspires motivation. I found myself singing songs from the musical for days after I first saw it. ‘Satisfied’ was one of my favorite songs from the show so we decided to have a little fun and put a Gunshow twist on it.
