Bio

For as long as I can remember, I found great joy and solace in singing. It was not until moving to Ottawa for work in 2005 that I picked up a guitar; funny story actually. I had appropriated a guitar from someone who owed me money and well, suffice it to say, he never paid me back. As fate would have it, a client came to me who just so happened to be quite the accomplished musician prior to his injury. The music became his therapy...it was magical really...he played, I watched, he handed me the guitar, I mimicked. Slowly, painstakingly, passionately I learned one chord after the other. It took me about four months to pair my voice with my fingers. Song after song emerged and now I'm working on my first album.

About

My first solo album is slated to come out before year's end but I am still shy of meeting some financial goals.  Your "tips" are most appreciated, as they will help in the making of this album.

If you would like to make a larger contribution, you may use PayPal to do so via intrigue_indepth@hotmail.com -- contributions of $25 or more gets a signed copy of the album before it is released, $50 or more gets the signed album and an 8X10 signed picture, $100 or more gets the signed album, 8X10 signed picture, and a special thank you in the liner notes...with much gratitude for your generosity. 

I've been doing some preliminary recordings with the multitalented Ryan Potter who is featured on guitar and background vocals for Couldnt' Wait, djembe in Hiatus as well as drums, mandolin and singing background vocals for Hook Line & Sinker.  With his help, I am finalizing instrument arrangements and vocal structures. We have also done a few collaborations together, namely: Lakeside, County Fair, Settle For Me. There's more to come...keep coming back!

XOXO

Amanda
