Amanda Rogers出生在意大利,但她所有的成長經(jīng)歷都發(fā)生在紐約,所以她的音樂中聽不出任何意大利人的感覺.她和Tori Amos的氣質(zhì)很像，都屬于把鋼琴當作主要樂器的唱作人.但她又有些不一樣，她的音樂是感性的,恰如其分的傷感若隱若現(xiàn).04年發(fā)行的第二張專輯"Daily News",琴聲輕柔但是堅定,配以Amanda的柔美女聲,深情地慢慢訴說屬于她的故事. It takes something wonderful, if not miraculous, to transform a room of conversation and doubt into a hush of attentive silence. It happened a few years ago at a show in Syracuse, NY. Droves of young concert-goers had waited in line to see New Found Glory, Saves The Day, and Piebald. Opening this show was a young and breath-takingly beautiful girl with a piano. The girl and piano weren’t exactly identical fare to the guitar riff, great hair, pop/punk bands that would take the stage afterwards. By the end of her first song, however, a pin drop could be heard, until deafening applause and overwhelming surprise flooded the showplace. Among her fans are Dashboard Confessional’s Chris Carrabba and Onelinedrawing singer/songwriter Jonah Matranga. Amanda and Jonah have performed together on several occasions on both the East and West Coasts, collaborating on crowd-thrilling renditions of The Beatles “In My Life” as well as songs by The Sugarcubes, and Bob Dylan. After playing clubs and indie venues, and moving on to large scale college festivals, Amanda Rogers went out to California to record her newest offering with Grant Capes (30 seconds to Mars, Spark Lights The Friction, Explosions in The Sky, Long Since Forgotten) in Hollywood. Regardless of if you encountered her live in concert, or caught one of her songs in your CD player, Amanda Rogers may just restore your faith in singer/songwriters.
