Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Amanda Fish

Born and raised in the fertile ground of the Kansas City music scene, Amanda Fish formed her band in 2014, a Blues Rock and Americana trio featuring her from-the-gut vocal belting out impassioned lyrics over swampy guitar and rock-heavy drums, with a driving bassline that locks in a groove the audience can’t help but dance to. She quickly cut and released her first album “Down In The Dirt” the following year on Vizztone Label Group. For that record she won the 2016 “Sean Costello Rising Star” Blues Blast Music Award. After relocating to St Louis in 2018, she released her sophomore album “Free” again on the Vizztone label, which would go on to win the 2019 “Best Emerging Artist Album” Blues Music Award. During the 2020 lockdowns, she cut and self released an album of living room demos, “Trailer Park Demos”, and some of that new material would make it onto the next record when she returned to the sound booth for her third studio album. The long-awaited new album, described as “A journey of faith, redemption, and hope against a backdrop of chaos and upheaval, “Kingdom” returns time and again to its message of truth and love” was released once again with the Vizztone label in July 2024.

Amanda’s music has more than 220k streams on Spotify, with over 4k monthly listeners (worldwide) and growing. Her album “Free” debuted at #6 on the Billboard Blues Chart and hit #4 on the iTunes Blues Album chart, while her latest album “Kingdom” hit #1 on the Roots Music Report’s Blues Rock chart with four singles from the album charting in the Blues Rock Top 20 simultaneously.

Amanda has extensively toured the US and Canada, playing legendary stages like Knuckleheads (Kansas City), Chan’s (Rhode Island), Ground Zero (Mississippi), Buddy Guy’s Legends (Chicago), Funky Biscuit (Boca Raton, FL), The Blue Note (North Carolina), The Rhythm Room (Phoenix), Papa Turney’s (Nashville), and Blues on Whyte (Edmonton, AB) just to name a few. Her live performances have received critical acclaim at a number of high-profile festivals as well such as W.C. Handy Festival in Kentucky, Brigg’s Farm Blues Festival in Pennsylvania, Michael Arnone’s Crawfish Festival in New Jersey, Gloucester Blues Festival in Massachusetts, Big Sky Blues Festival in Montana, Blues Blast Festival in Arizona, Camping With The Blues in Florida, and more!
