Wolf Within

Through songwriting in the styles of electronic, folk and blues Amanda, performing as Wolf Within, embodies the nourishment one can experience when listening to our hearts. Through self-recorded loops she weaves mystic melodies into the web of divine balance of body, heart, mind and spirit. Performing on piano, guitar and voice she creates a safe space for the sacred to be honored, heard and remembered within and around. Just as the spirit of wolf, she embraces the strength within to be a light for others to remember how to take their power back from all which doesn't serve them with love.

"We are all worthy of coming to remember the love within our hearts is who we truly are...beyond ego, beyond fear, beyond doubt. In love, for love and as love, we are One." 

Since age 12 Amanda has been writing original music, spending all of grade school from 4th through 12th grade studying piano privately and oboe privately as well as in school band and orchestra. Extra-curricular orchestral groups were Southtowns Youth Orchestra, Greater Buffalo Youth Orchestra, New York State Summer of Orchestral Studies in Saratoga Springs and American Music Abroad. Amanda graduated from SUNY Fredonia in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in applied music and has since been expanding her music career performing her original music and offering music-focused workshops and motivational speaking. All of Amanda's workshops, performances and motivational speaking are focused on self-healing and development of an elevated understanding that we are all worthy of embracing ourselves with love and nurture. To develop an intentional embodiment of compassion towards oneself and others is Amanda's passion, which she gracefully shares with others in every event she is a part of or creates. Amanda has performed at various festivals such as Moon Bloom Music & Wellness Retreat in Oneida, NY, Buffalo Cherry Blossom Festival and Music Is Art Festival in Buffalo, NY, SOULVATION '23 Festival 2023 in Ohio, Willow Springs Fall UP Festival in IL and more. She is curating her first wellness retreat which will have holistic healing workshops and live music, during the weekend of July 18-20, 2024 called "Ripple Effect Wellness Retreat." Ripple Effect Wellness Retreat will be held in Gainesville, NY. You will also see Amanda performing at various festivals in 2024 such as Pyro Eclipse in Ohio, May We Begin in Gainesville, NY, Hope Fest and Soulvation 2024 in Pleasant Plains, OH, Frequency One in Minnesota and more to be announced!

“The piano was delicate, but also hosted strength inside fragility. Every piece came together as a warm feeling, pulling you with gravity into awareness.” — BUFFALO LISTENING CLUB (buffalolistens.com)
