Bio

As haunting and striking as the sculpted inlet of the Bay of Fundy, Amanda's voice has begun to garner attention in the Ottawa music scene. This authentic, multi-dimensional singer/songwriter has a sincerity rarely heard in today's folk/dream/acoustic content. Her thoughtful phrasing and subtle guitar playing cause one to take pause. Her unconventional melodies and intuitive vocals have been deemed "achingly gorgeous, organically chilling and soulful."
