We’re Amanda & James – just two Canadian singer-songwriters who love telling stories, singing our guts out, and making music that feels like a backyard hangout. Our songs swing between heartbreak and high-energy, with harmonies that hit and lyrics that get real. If you like country music with a little grit, a little heart, and a dash of cheeky charm, we think you’ll feel right at home here.
Visit our music page and if you like what you hear, consider coming out to a show, adding our songs to your playlist or sharing one of our tunes with friends and family. Thank you for being part of our musical journey. Have a great day!
