Amanda is a frontwoman, singer,
songwriter, and guitarist with an aggressive "post-progressive" catch.
She commands the stage with distinctive vocals and vigorous guitar
skills.
Lyrically, her songs unfold like the pages of classic literature,
possessing a narrative quality that flows through her compositions from
beginning to end. Born and raised in Brownsville, Texas, she
moved to Austin at age 19 with a drive to take a bite out of the music
scene.
Today, Amanda’s self-released EP, A
Premonition, has sold some 300 copies. In 2007, she was crowned
"Acoustic Hero of Austin," winning first place at a local solo acoustic
championship. She has toured cities across Texas and has
disseminated her music in several other locations throughout the
country.
As a solo acoustic act or accompanied by
her band, Amanda regards performance as an art in itself. "I believe
stage presence is a vital skill as a performing musician," she says.
And indeed, Amanda commands the stage effortlessly with a showcase of
complex guitar work, spot-on vocals, and dynamic sincere passion.
She is also the founder and
co-guitarist
of Descendants
of Erdrick, Austin's premier classic video game tribute band.
