Amanda Crumley is a singer-songwriter who is re-emerging.  Equal parts Radiohead and Dolly Parton (among countless others) influence songs that are fully her own.

After pursuing jazz in graduate school and a few years beyond, she established herself in Chicago as a songwriter, performer and bandleader. In the years since releasing her farewell album, "With a Silhouette," with her former Chicago band, Mandy and the Bandits, Amanda has been relatively quiet but busy, consistently writing, and developing her sea legs as a solo performer.  Denver has proven to be fertile creative ground,  and she is planning to record a new album of original music. Among the many threads of her music comes a new offering: self-acceptance.
