   About Amanda Shires

Amanda%20Shires
Quantcast
Amanda Shires&039;s Facebook profile 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



“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
