Amanda Pascali, singer-songwriter Amanda Pascali writes music that speaks to the experience of growing up as a first-generation American. After her songs went viral on social media, she amassed hundreds of thousands of fans around the globe. Now, her long-awaited new record, Roses and Basil (a collection of Sicilian-English translations) has been praised by NPR, the Bluegrass Situation, and numerous international outlets. Her music, coined, Immigrant American Folk delivers a powerful narrative on being, “too foreign for here, too foreign for home, and never enough for both.” The internationally acclaimed, bilingual singer/songwriter and 2021 Houston Chronicle "Musician of the Year," was born in New York City, and is based in Texas. Amanda has performed internationally, from the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. to the European Union Parliament in Brussels, and her song Over the Sea was featured as the soundtrack to the opening scene of the new Italian film Indelebile (English title: Family First) (2024). Endorsed by the US State Department and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a Fulbright Fellow, she pioneered the first comprehensive project to translate and revitalize Sicilian folk songs. Amanda is an artist in residence with the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. In 2024, she collaborated with the US Embassy in Italy to open the first “American Space,” in Sicily where she gave performances and masterclasses on translation and American music. She has received awards for her songwriting and poetry from the Calandra Institute in New York, the Lions Club International in Sicily, the Kerrville Folk Festival, the Houston Arts Alliance, The Mid-America Arts Alliance and others.
