Me in a nutshell: my name is Amanda. I play electric guitar, acoustic guitar, mandolin, and sing. I love to organize things. I have a serious problem with running into inanimate objects. I drool when I sleep…and sometimes when I’m awake.

I used to sing in the shower and play guitar on my pillow. I’m so thankful to be doing both for real now. I’m even more thankful that I get to use these gifts for God’s kingdom.

People always ask me why we chose to name our band 1000 Generations. The Bible says in Duet. 7:9 that, “the blessings of God extend to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.”

For some people, the avenue that leads them into a deeper walk with God is sermons; for some it is art. For me, it has been music. Change takes place in me as I encounter God through music. The blessing of this change affects not only me, but also the generations to come after me. As we share through music, it’s this blessing that I want others to experience in their own lives, as well as in the generations that follow them.
