Amanda McCarthy is a New Englander at her core. So much so, that she recently traded six years in Nashville for an eager return home to the Granite State. "I never adjusted to being away from the coast", she admits with love.
McCarthy delivers cultivated cover shows in bars and restaurants throughout the region. As a full time musician since 2015, and a self proclaimed "professional people pleaser", she loves tailoring each show to the crowd at hand by taking requests and putting over a decade and 3,000+ shows' worth of skills in reading a room to the test. With well over 2,000 song selections in the Top 40 classic rock, pop, and country genres, she has something for everyone.
With two different systems for professional live sound, McCarthy can accommodate small or large spaces appropriately. While performing most often as an acoustic soloist, she is also available in a duo or trio formation, featuring additional instruments like lead guitar, piano, fiddle, or acoustic percussion. She also brings an eclectic and energetic show with her full band.
McCarthy also has extensive experience in private events such as parties, weddings, corporate functions, assisted living facilities, funerals, children's parties, holiday parties, and specialized tribute shows. Please reach out for references and sample set lists for these events.
"I just like making people happy. At the end of the day, that's what music is all about."
