Recently featured on NPR, rising Texas artist Amanda Pascali has released her new album Roses and Basil, produced by acclaimed singer-songwriter and fellow Texan Robert Ellis. She will celebrate the album release with a special hometown show in Houston, TX at the historic Anderson Fair on October 10.On Roses and Basil, Pascali merges the worlds of Sicily and the American South with songs anchored in tradition yet made for the modern day. Pascali blends folk/Americana influences with Mediterranean, Balkan, and Latin rhythms, as she delivers powerful tales of the American experience through the eyes of immigrants.
"This album is a conversation between past and present, a way of singing about everything from reckless abandon and unrequited love to the quiet moments of nostalgia that connect me to my parents' journey to the United States; the Sicilian folklore from 200 years ago, the spaghetti westerns that soundtracked my childhood, and the reality of being a Gen Z woman in America in 2025," Pascali says. "I've always been caught between worlds. This record is about finding your footing in that space, embracing the enduring power of love, and realizing that home is a feeling you can carry with you, no matter where you are. It's a record for anyone who feels like they live in the in-between, searching for a feeling of home that can't be found on a map."
