About Amanda Rheaume
Possessed of a powerful, slightly gritty singing voice and an ear for catchy melodies and instantly-accessible roots-pop arrangements, Amanda won a 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year and was nominated for a Juno. In September 2016 she received another Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year.
Rheaume has released four albums - Holding Patterns (2016), Keep a Fire (2013), Light of Another Day (2011) and Acoustic Christmas (2009).
She quickly earned a reputation around Ottawa as a generous community-oriented artist and leader who co-organized the Babes4Breasts concerts and recording projects; spearheaded Ottawa’s Bluebird North songwriter showcases; performed for the troops in Afghanistan three times; raised money for the families of military personnel, and sold 6500 copies of a Christmas EP in Ottawa alone to raise money for Boys and Girls Clubs of Ottawa.
Rheaume has delivered her unique and soulful blend of folk-country-pop tinged tracks to audiences around the world, including Canada (coast to coast), the USA, Europe, the UK, Faroe Islands, Central America and beyond. She has opened for artists such as Emmylou Harris, K'Naan, Lucinda Williams, Larkin Poe, Andrew Combs and Ani DiFranco.
Her increasing success stems from her soulful ability to translate personal stories into messages, evoke a feeling of positivity, communicate the strength of those before her, and connect with her listeners.
With the release of Holding Patterns (2016), Amanda continues a long history of raising money and advocating change through her work as an artist – and this time, it’s personal.
