Amy Blanding

“Amy Blanding sings with conviction and soul.

She delivers songs that tell stories that remind us of what is good.”

–Kym Gouchie, Juno Nominated Indigenous Musician

​

Known for her fierce songwriting, powerful vocals, and electrifying stage presence, Amy Blanding gathers moments from the land, the working class, and the resistance movement, and shapes them into steadfast protest-folk.

Boasting extensive collaborations and unique musicality, Blanding’s music seamlessly bridges the gap between audience, artist, and advocacy toward a greater possibility for the collective.

“Down the Line" Blanding's debut solo album released in September 2019, "features an ambitious neo-folk/country production. It is a move that is equally independent and collaborative, as the endeavour involves a performing and production team of almost a dozen personnel, not counting an accapella choir featuring dozens of women. A thematic work centered around women, wild spaces, and more than a little bit of retribution, it continues the sonic and lyrical trajectory started by Black Spruce Bog, while sincerely sharing the narratives of people and places that have affected Amy personally. Seemingly, the greatest theme of all is respecting the humanity in the listener and the artist, a feat that is as inseparable from Amy as her music.” Thimbleberry magazine, July 2019
