Spotlight: Guest Artist Amanda Carr

Amada Carr
jazz vocalist

Amanda Carr is a multi-faceted singer, musician, performer and writer who continues to creatively energize and inspire.

Born into family of musicians, Amanda’s long career has been about exploring music in a variety of environments and creating and performing cross-genres. Beginning as a rock singer/keyboard player in the nightclubs of Boston as a teenager, her love of popular music and singing cover songs laid the foundation for exploring other types of music.

After years of playing and singing rock and pop, Amanda delved into her ‘parents’’ music and began singing and recording the American Songbook which led to 5 albums and global performances and distribution. Her critical acclaim in the Wall Street Journal placed her among a bevy of notable jazz vocalists in the current media sphere.

Coupling her stage presence with hosting, Amanda performed with and then became the CBS radio color commentator for the prestigious nationally broadcast ‘July 4th Boston Pops on the Esplanade’. She continues to host other events and radio shows, including holding the Executive Director position at WICN Public Radio from 2017-2019.

Always inventing, collaborating and inspiring, Amanda enjoys coaching vocal students and crafting entertainment for private events offering a variety of live music and DJ services while still writing and composing for multiple media outlets and other artistic endeavors.
