Amanda Braam

About

Blending heart-wrenching folk sincerity, crunchy jazz harmony,  and catchy pop melody, an Amanda Braam performance is a musical and emotional rollercoaster that leaves listeners enthralled. Hailing from Kitchener, Ontario, Amanda is a singer/songwriter known for her siren-like vocals and intricate acoustic guitar lines. She released a self-produced demo album when she was 17 in 2021, and subsequently won both the Dorothy Shoemaker Songwriting Competition and the Western University’s Musician competition. In 2024, Amanda dropped her first official album alongside two music videos. Amanda performs solo, supported by her bandmates “The Paper Cranes”, and as half of the jazz-folk duo “Roundabout Dance”. She has shared the stage with artists such as Fleet Foxes, Violent Femmes and The Strumbellas. Amanda is currently attending Wilfrid Laurier University in the Music Therapy program. She works with the community music initiative “The Lullaby Project”, which pairs at-risk mothers with a songwriter to write and record an original song for their children.
