About this Event
Amanda Cook, now entering her tenth year as the leader of the Amanda Cook Band, has left an indelible mark on the bluegrass scene.
Originally from Jay, Florida, Cooks passion for bluegrass was ignited by her father, with whom she played in a band during the mid-2000s. With her down-to-earth style, profound connection with her audience, and distinctive vocal range, she quickly achieved popularity.
Fueling a fire to record and tour professionally, Cook made the move to the Mountains of Virginia, to not only sign a long term 5 album contract with record label Mountain Fever
Records, but also to work there as an engineer.
The band's fourth studio album, "Changes", debuted at the number one spot of the Billboard Bluegrass Album chart in October 2022, coinciding with the band’s continued presence at festivals and top venues nationwide.
In 2022, Amanda was promoted to Chief Operations Officer of Mountain Fever Records where she continues to oversee operations of the label. In 2024, Cook was chosen as one of 25
distinct members of the bluegrass community to serve in the International Bluegrass Music Association’s annual Bluegrass Leadership program.
A 5th album from the band is slated to release Fall of 2024, and the first 2 releases have garnered top ranking play on Sirius XM and have been spotted on the Bluegrass Today charts as well.
