Often compared to the likes of Tori Amos for her fairy esthetic and classical roots, Tom Waits for her dark and literary lyrics, and Carole King for her Tin Pan Alley Pop sensibility - Upstate NY native, Amanda Rogers, has continued her nearly 20 year musical journey on her self-paved career path as an original and independent touring and recording artist. With her latest 10th album release, Heavy Blue, Multiple international tours solo or with full band, notable press, recognition for a song reaching the International Top 100 billboard charts, numerous co-writes and guest appearances, song placements on networks such as the Discovery channel and MTV, and a list of musical celebrity fans that are all name-dropper worthy, she still maintains her desire to evolve as a Singer-Songwriter without boundaries while remaining "uncompromisingly d.i.y". "An accomplished and versatile songwriter and pianist, timid when she takes the stage, her first fragile notes transform into clear soul-resonating melodies". "Regardless of whether you encounter her live in concert or listen to her recorded songs, [she] just may restore your faith in Singer-Songwriters."
