..Singer, Songwriter and Nashville Recording Artist Amanda Nagurney was born in Buffalo, New York and rose with the sounds of country music surrounding her. She began listening to country music at a very young age and by the age of seven realized her passion of singing and performing. While on a trip to Nashville, Amanda toured the Country Music Hall of Fame and recorded at the famous Ryman Auditorium. It was here as she learned the history of country music and found this is where her heart lies.
Amanda recorded her debut album, "Gettin' Out Of This Town" at Soundshop Studios in Nashville, TN. Amanda has sung the National Anthem for the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, World's Toughest Rodeo and the Buffalo Bisons. Amanda continues to sing in a variety of venues, including festivals, nightclubs and fairs. She has opened for many Nashville Recording Artists such as Phil Vassar, Joe Nichols, Sammy Kershaw, The John Corbett Band, Locash Cowboys, Gavin Degraw and Miranda Lambert. Amanda was recently requested to sing the National Anthem at Louisville Slugger Field for USA Cares. Amanda performed for many local charities including Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Connecticut Street Armory, Fort Drum in Watertown, Woman & Children's Hospital of Buffalo, Jim Kelly's Hunter's Hope, The Red Cross, Make A Wish Foundation, and many, many others. At the present time, Amanda is part of a collaboration CD and project titled "IN REMEMBRANCE". USA Cares is a large corporation involved in the project which exists to provide military families with financial support and other critical resources in their time of need. Along with this project a concert tour will be arranged along with several radio/television interviews, one including an interview with “You Served Radio Show” (BOUHAMMER AFGHAN); an international radio station.
