No stranger to performing, Amandah has lit up countless venues with her delightful stage presence and witty banter, warming an audience up to experience her exceptional vocal renditions of the Great American Songbook and other classic and current gems spanning the past century and multiple genres. Bouncing from Cole Porter to Coldplay and everything in between, she’s often asked of her preferred musical style: "Playing audience requests,” which is why she happily offers music menus to assist guests in choosing their favorite tunes from her 1500+ song repertoire.

She relocated to Sarasota in early 2017 and has been involved in the vibrant music & arts scene ever since.
