"More, Baby More" by: Amanda Biggs, Written by: David Clemmer, Don Richmond and Amanda Biggs

Описание: Amanda Biggs' new album is a confluence of many things - her operatically trained voice and her finely-tuned sensibilities of the folk/blues/pop that is often called Americana music, mixed with the songwriting and production of David Clemmer and Don Richmond, combined with a healthy dose of the synchronicity and magic that happens in a true work of art. This is a gorgeous collection of songs that range from Bonnie Raitt-style blues/pop to ethereal haunting folk, with a bunch of rootsy country-blues and southwestern Americana thrown in. There's a lot of beautiful acoustic string work here on a dizzying array of instruments, including acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo, dobro, Weissenborn slide, hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, as well as electric guitar, bottleneck slide, piano and organ - all dedicated to the task of lifting up, supporting and surrounding the powerful soaring voice of Amanda Biggs.

Some background information - Amanda is an internationally-prized Opera singer who received her training from Western Kentucky University and Indiana University Jacob's School of Music. She trained with world-renowned Opera stars Carol Vaness, Elizabeth Volkman, George Shirley, Virginia Zeani and Patricia Wise. More recently, Amanda has trained with highly sought out vocal coach Bill Schuman. Her mentors are among the elite of the Opera world. However, Amanda has a passion for healing people with her voice, and has followed that intention as it has led her into various genres of music. To note, Amanda has performed with singers/songwriters Krista Detor, Bob Sima, John Gage, Tim Ash and Timothy Reed. Amanda has recently been selected to perform in the world premiere of The Breeze Bends the Grass, a folk style musical theater work written by Arbutus Cunningham and Krista Detor. Amanda is a voice instructor, with a current roster of 28 private students. At any given time, Amanda can be found singing in her back yard, singing in a nursing home, singing in church, singing for children, competing at international voice competitions in NYC, jamming with local musicians, singing at memorial services and weddings, or singing an aria in her car.

This is the 2nd song from the May 15th concert featuring Amanda and special guests Don Conoscenti, Don Richmond, Krista Detor, and David Clemmer who all came together for the launching of Amanda's very first album!!!!!!!!

Many people have asked Amanda over the years, "Why don't you have a CD?!" She is answering the call now! The early reviews are in, and the response is overwhelmingly positive. This concert was amazing.

Amanda would like to thank her sponsors, Wepay donors, as well as Yard Dog Record Company and Howlin' Dog Studio for their generosity, support, and collaborative genius. She is signed as an artist with YDRC.
