How do y’all say it where you’re from? Here in Alabama it’s “ahn-ry” 😁♥️

Multi-instrumentalist Amanda Donald is making her mark on Mobile Bay’s music scene as one of the area’s premier talents. Donald’s superb musicianship paired with her songwriting and vocal abilities deems her to be the total package.

Donald arranges beautiful acoustic
instrumentation with sensational lines that elicit familiar feelings of the joy and pain associated with everyday life experiences. Her original repertoire also includes retellings of folklore local to south Alabama.

Listeners are treated to a contemporary rendition of traditional roots music as Donald creates a folk-fusion of bluegrass and Americana.

Her greatest influences are Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss, and the inspiration of these two musicians can be heard and felt in Donald’s songs.
