EARLVILLE - Earlville Opera House is pleased to present American singer-songwriter, Amanda Rogers, to our Arts Café at 7 p.m. Friday, October 11.

Hailing from Upstate New York where the rustbelt of industry-past meets idyllic landscapes, the collision between these two worlds, one of metal and concrete and the other of mud and verdure, was the precise place Amanda’s sound was forged. Don’t miss this unique and soulful pianist right here in our cozy space on a tranquil autumn evening.

A pragmatic daydreaming teenager in the late nineties, her earliest recordings illustrate this contradiction perfectly as she musically and aesthetically merged classical and punk. Those early albums, released through Brooklyn-based punk/hardcore label Immigrant Sun Records, were often labeled as "lo-fi bedroom ambience" and "chamber pop." Her music evolved as she expanded on her musical experiences while touring with indie-rock and hardcore bands, joining a pop-rock outfit, and later touring as part of a grunge-folk-pop duo. 

Now with 12 solo albums, Amanda’s sound vacillates between "gritty blues and folk-pop", and is described as being "intimate, intense, and expressive." Her live performances are "raw and emotional", "haunting", "quirky and delicate as well as powerfully moving." She has garnered comparisons to such artists as Glen Hansard (Swell Season/ the film "Once"), Joanna Newsome, Damien Rice, and Big Thief. 

Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 members and Earlville residents (become a member!), $10 for youth (17 and under), with college students half off general admission. Tickets are available at www.earlvilleoperahouse.com or by calling (315) 691-3550. EOH’s Artisan Gift Shop and three galleries will be open. Gallery visits are always free and open to the public with support from Golden Artist Colors, Inc.
