The Minnesota-based singer/songwriter kicks off our new music series with her unique blend of folk, rock, soul and blues. Amada will be showcasing tracks from her latest album, "Please Dear Sun" along with other favorites from her seven-album catalog.
ABOUT: Amanda is a Minnesota-based singer songwriter, producing original music drifting between folk, rock, soul and blues. She recently released her seventh album, “Please Dear Sun,” last summer which has already been well received and has been nominated for “Blues + Roots Radio Album Of The Year.”
Amanda performs as a solo artist, a member of a women's contemporary folk band called Wildflower, and with her self-named band. Amanda does not claim a particular genre of music, and in doing so enjoys variety in her music and audiences. She has produced music drifting between folk and rock. With roots as a pianist her writing is thematically varied with an emphasis on melody and ballads wrapped in warm vocals. She’s released 7 albums. In 2016 she received a “Front Of Line” pass from The Voice. She continues to fully enjoy songwriting, releasing & performing original music while raising a family in the beautiful Mississippi river valley.
After attending Winona State University she began a more intentional look at returning to music after her nephew was diagnosed with leukemia and she was pulled into his struggle. Bryce asked her to sing to him at the moment he passed away. That was her defining moment in her mind to open herself again to writing and performing. In 2010 she released a children's album inspired by his story called, "Trains, Cars + A Trip To Mars." Soon after his father also passed away from a sudden brain aneurysm. Amanda wrote some songs from the experience and released, "Embrace" in 2012.
After a successful kickstarter project, she released her first EP called, "Keeping Hearts" in June 2014. "Better Life" EP was released in December of 2017 with full length alternative “Rayne Angel” released in November of 2018. Rayne Angel is a flavorful and diverse full length alternative based album, and a truly Minnesota made album; all of the album captured in her own home.
Her seventh album, “Please Dear Sun '' was released in July of 2021 and is her most distinctly dissimilar album yet. The album focuses on humanity’s struggle with real and imagined, physical and mental confinement, as a result of the pandemic in 2020.
She has performed at The Mid West Music Festival at its inception. In 2015 and in 2018, she performed on the first day of the Wisconsin music and art festival, Ashley for the Arts. Wildflower joined the Boats & Bluegrass Festival in 2017 and her band played for Big Turn Festival. In 2019, her band performed at Big River Theater, Red Wing Arts Festival, and She Rocks Festival. With the great changes in the live music industry with Covid-19, she worked to move her music services online and joined forces with Land Of 10,000 Streams Festival in 2020.
