Biography

American singer-songwriter, Amanda Rogers, hails from Upstate NY where the rustbelt of industry-past meets idyllic landscapes. The collision between these two worlds, one of metal and concrete and the other of mud and verdure, was the precise place her sound was forged. A pragmatic daydreaming teenager in the late-nineties, her earliest recordings illustrate this contradiction perfectly as she musically and aesthetically merged classical and punk. Those early albums, released through Brooklyn-based punk/hardcore label Immigrant Sun Records, were often labeled as "lo-fi bedroom ambience" and "chamber pop.” Her music evolved as she expanded on her musical experiences while touring with indie-rock and hardcore bands, joining a pop-rock outfit, and later touring as part of a grunge-folk-pop duo. Now with 11 solo albums, her sound vacillates between "gritty blues and folk-pop", and is described as being "intimate, intense, and expressive." Her live performances are "raw and emotional", "haunting", "quirky and delicate as well as powerfully moving." Alongside the release of her newest album, The Hallow, Amanda is starting a Patreon subscriber community to allow for a new kind of connection with her audience.
