Amanda Rose Riley
"Secrets I Told To A Sound Hole"

Released in 2018

Amanda Rose Riley is a singer-songwriter from New Jersey. She's got a bit of a punk-influenced folk rock sound. I've always been impressed with her ability to take on challenges like busking in England. She has taken risks few artists ever take.

I interviewed Amanda in 2018 after the release of her debut album, Secrets I Told To A Sound Hole. This was the title track to that album and the feature can be found here.
