Bio
.. .. .. .. ...... Layout by ..CoolChaser.. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!.............. .. .. Amanda Shires is a fiddler, singer, songwriter and a decent human being. Watch for firecrackers, boot stompin', and other disruptions! She is a ThriftStoreCowboy, A Dirty Small, a Lovenote, and is currently working with her Band of Men and she will be coming to a town near you!...... “I remember sitting in an airport waiting for a plane and my drummer Kenney running up and saying ‘there’s a girl here you gotta hear’ and we walked up and there she was this beautiful girl with a fiddle standing by herself and smiling and playing and I said ‘How about some Faded Love?’ and she played so pretty that Kenny and I missed our plane. America needs pizzicato.”-Chris Isaak...... "Amanda Shires leans back on her heels, bears down on her bow and evokes the spirit of Spade Cooley. With a voice that whispers Dolly and lyrics that scream Faulkner, this girl shines like a diamond, but she's pure Pearl." -Justin Townes Earle...... West Cross Timbers is a charming marriage of classic folk and country forms to youthful originality. I trust that artists of Ms Shires' caliber will keep the tried but true heart of folk and country music beating into the next generation." --Slaid Cleaves ...... "If you don't like Amanda Shires... then you don't like America." -DeVotchKa...... "Amanda Shires' voice, songs, and violin make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. In a good way. " -Will Kimbrough ...... “fiddler and onstage sparkplug…baptized in panhandle winds”-Tom Geddie Buddy Magazine...... “She makes a statement that she’s standing on her own instrumentally and vocally. Shires will conjure smiles one moment, and in the next communicate loneliness with fiddle and bow.”..-William Kerns ..Lubbock Avalanche Journal......“She certainly impressed a lot of UK music lovers with her fine fiddle work, expressive vocals and all-round charm and beauty.”..-Alan Cackett ..Maverick Magazine...... "this gal is one of the best kept secrets we’ve discovered" Bill Lavery -Village Records -
