Front Porch

Amanda was born in Spartanburg, South Carolina, a mid-size city that has produced many successful musicians, including The Marshall Tucker Band, Joe Bennett & The Sparkletones, David Ball, Pinky Anderson, and Marshall Chapman. She began singing before she could speak, "making up" songs shortly after. At age 9, she began writing her songs down! She sang with church, school, theatre, performance groups throughout her youth, and performed an original for the first time at age 13.

Vocalist and Harmonica player Tony Holiday, now hailing out of Memphis, Tennessee, is a rising force on the Blues and Harmonica Scene in the USA and Europe. Playing 150-200 shows a year nationwide, Tony has been pausing along the way to complete his impressive Porch Sessions project. In the spirit of the great field recordings, Tony Holiday and partner Landon Stone have been traveling coast to coast, recording some of America's best blues musicians right on their front porch. For many, it's where it all began. This is deep, raw, blues, stripped down to its front porch basics.

The Back Porch Majority was an American folk music group founded by Randy Sparks in 1963. It was intended to be a rehearsal space for The New Christy Minstrels, another group Sparks had established in 1961, but it ended up becoming successful on its own. The group released six albums, appeared on several TV shows and was chosen to provide entertainment at the White House in 1965.
