Amanda St John is a soulful singer-songwriter from Northern Ireland.
She is a mainstay on the Irish radio and festival circuit, and will be showcasing her emotive and powerful musical play with a date at The Stables on Saturday (May 27).
Amanda's debut album 'Grow' was launched in May 2016 to a full house at the prestigious Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival in Belfast and has received rave reviews and worldwide airplay including a national advert campaign for The Rio Olympics for the title track ‘Grow’.
The product of a year's worth of recording and a lifetime's worth of experience, the soul, blues and pop-tinged opus is imbued with an uplifting sense of positivity throughout and serves as something of a much needed sonic tonic for these dark times.
Speaking of dark times, St John has had more than her fair share of them in the past, but she has used them as fuel for her muse.
In fact, it was a near death experience - which saw her fighting for her life 300ft down the side of a mountain after a serious car accident - that gave birth to her career as a songwriter as she resolved to make her time on Earth count.
Amanda has found that people are very inspired by her story of overcoming self-doubt, starting again and fully committing to living her dream.
She has worked with artists like Brian Kennedy, Duke Special, Eddi Reader, Mary Coughlan, Ciaran Gribbin (of INXS) and Jon Tiven (Grammy winning Nashville writer/producer who has worked with BB King, Van Morrison and The Rolling Stones).
Amanda is known for her passionate and powerful live performances, and this week she brings the goods to the Wavendon venue.
