Bucks County, Pennsylvania Singer/Songwriter Amanda Penecale has been writing songs since she was in grade school. However, it wasn't until Philadelphia music journalist/promoter David Wannop convinced her to play her music in public in May of '07, that she started enchanting audiences with her pure voice and finger picking guitar. A graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design, Amanda's interest in music grew from her love of storytelling, where she began songwriting as another artistic outlet.
