Amanda Sena
You may have seen Amanda in and around the Midwest if you’re one of those people who enjoy 2-3 seasons of weather a day. She resides in Chicago- the birthplace of spring showers in the morning and winter snowstorms at night. Home to Kanye, Plain White T’s and Kathy Griffin, Chicago has been the easiest place to find Amanda. She and her band play shows in and around Chicago all the time. In fact, Amanda is lucky enough to have some of the most talented Chicagoan musicians in her band- Brian Chinino (the donkey kong playing the drums), Jorge Flores (the true minority of the group, hailing the full name “Jorge Alejandro Flores Sandoval Hernandez”- can you imagine what that was like in kindergarten?) and Jason Planera (the guy with the tattoos and Mohawk on stage right).
The band has played in and around the Midwest, including but not limited to, the Midwest Acoustic Music Festival, Double Door opening for Mathew Good, The Melody Inn, Elbo Room, The (late) Tweeter Center opening for big names like Alanis Morissette, Barenaked Ladies and Jessica Simpson to name a few, The Rave opening for Lifehouse and many Universities, Festivals, Bars and Coffeeshops along the way.
This band has compiled and recorded about 4 albums by now and they’re, yet again, working on another. If you’d like to contribute (financially) feel free to contact the band. Since they’ve been working independently these past few years, they can use any help they can get. Imagine, since these guys have teamed up, they have attained 3 degrees, survived three big moves, and gained 2 new members of their lives (Brian’s new cats). Any other relationship may have failed by now, but these guys are in love- in love with music. If you come to a show you’ll see how ridiculously talented, entertaining and friendly this band is. Don’t believe me, just look around. They’re going places.
