Amanda Penecale

"Amanda Penecale uses her knowledge of self in her lyrics, emotional expression in her voice, and rhythm, timing, and complementary harmonics in her music. She has a unique quality to her voice with out trying to sound quirky or experimental. This pianist turned guitarist has an artistic soul that acknowledges the greats of the past with out falling too deeply in their shadows. Music is about connecting with your own voice, sound, and style—in this she succeeds."..............David W. Wannop Journalist and Promoter.................................................... ............................................................ .. ............................................................ ......................................................Okay, so hi. I am Amanda. I hate the initial hello, but after i start talking its sometimes hard to get me to stop. I am in the beginning stages of making my first album. Right now I am preparing my first single. I was born in 1984 in Bucks County Pennsylvania. (I am 23...in case you are bad a math as I am) I did all of the normal things that a kid does growing up in a suburban town. I played outside with my neighborhood friends, and often chased down the ice cream man. Then one day I learned that I could play music by ear. I was about 7 and I sat down at a piano during a party and banged out a few songs. My parents were pretty impressed and I began to study classical piano. In High School I got together with a few friends and formed a folk band. We wrote our own material, and for the first time I was learning the power of singing my own stories. I began to teach myself the guitar beginning with chords from tabs of artists like Dar Williams and the Dixie Chicks. I have since received my BFA in Illustration and Photography from The Rhode Island School of Design, taken many photographs, taken some guitar lessons, and worked on becoming my own person. ................. Other things about me I couldn’t fit into this bio.......I like Polaroid's and sketchbooks. I get stressed out by haircuts. I can’t resist dancing to a good song, and I often sing out loud when I don’t realize it. If you are my friend someday you will become some form of my art...its only a matter of time. I am currently in Maine working as a visiting artist at a boarding school.
