Amanda is a Minnesota native and has released music drifting between folk, alt-pop/rock and Americana. With roots as a pianist, her writing is thematically varied with an emphasis on melody and ballads wrapped in warm vocals. In 2016 she received a Front Of The Line Pass from The Voice and her seventh album, “Please Dear Sun,” was nominated for Blues & Roots Radio Album Of The Year. Amanda just released her eighth album called Give Me Away, and “As she hops from one genre to another, she doesn’t try to change, tweak, alter, or reinvent them. She simply owns them. And that is the secret of making yourself stand apart from the pack.” — Dave Franklin, Big Takeover
