Amanda Penecale

Bucks County singer-songwriter Amanda Penecale has been writing songs since she was in grade school. However, it wasn't until Philadelphia music journalist/promoter David Wannop convinced her to play her music in public in May of '07, that she started enchanting audiences with her pure voice and fingerpicking guitar. A graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design, Amanda's interest in music grew from her love of storytelling.

Bucks County singer-songwriter Amanda Penecale has been writing songs since she was in grade school. However, it wasn't until Philadelphia music journalist/promoter David Wannop convinced her to play her music in public in May of '07, that she started enchanting audiences with her pure voice and fingerpicking guitar. A graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design, Amanda's interest in music grew from her love of storytelling. Her ideas for song craft stem from her interest in creating something from nothing, and her process is very similar to her fine art. Now an art teacher, Amanda continues to write music and play throughout the Philadelphia region. Amanda's current influences have leaned toward Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch, Ingrid Michaelson and Brandi Carlile, after an earlier immersion in the songs of Dar Williams.
