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.
