Check out Amanda Cunningham’s benefit and EP release show on October 17, 2021, at Crooked Run Brewery in Sterling, VA.
Amanda Cunningham’s debut EP “From the Chair” is just around the corner. Come out to party and help raise money for the Warrior Music Foundation‘s mission to serve active-duty military, veterans, and their families by providing a venue for learning, healing, and camaraderie through free music therapy and music lessons. All ticket sales go straight to Warrior Music Foundation.
“From the Chair” takes the listener through a journey of Amanda’s own therapy and self-improvement. The record is full of past reconciliations and self-acceptance, digging into the trenches of often-downplayed mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Amanda offers up her take during National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month. Listen to her on Spotify here.
Amanda will be supported by the amazingly talented Courtney King. Courtney is the epitome of fusion, combining rock, punk, and blues merging with classical, avant-garde, and progressive rock – topped off with some flute bad-assery.
