"Songwriting is my first passion. Singing falls hand in hand with my love for creating songs." - AKM

Hailing from somewhere between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Amanda Kent (formerly Amanda McCarthy) will probably strike you more as a Texan than a New Englander. But don't be fooled. She takes pride in her New England roots.

She fuels the good old fashioned country music fire with songs like "Honky Tonk Heart". And she stands her ground with "Got a Gun". She's not afraid to break apart from the mainstream country music wave. "I don't write my music to follow any guidelines. I don't care if it's what sells or not, somebody somewhere will want to listen to it, and that's who I'm singing for," she says.

Her style is derived from artists like Waylon & Jessie, David Allen Coe, and Lee Ann Womack. Amanda has been writing songs and singing since the tender age of 6.  "I grow with my music, or it grows with me. I plan on writing and singing for the rest of my life."
