artist Amanda Bon



Amanda Bon formed her band in 2010 with the goal of recording and releasing the best of her songwriting up until that point.  She assembled some of Ottawa's most seasoned and talented players to complete her vision and in September 2011 they released their debut album, 'Juniper Weekends'.  The CD is a collection of original songs in the country/folk style with Amanda on guitar and lead vocals, Danny Artuso on guitar, pedal steel and background vocals, Ken Kanwisher on bass, and Gilles Leclerc on mandolin and background vocals.  Since then they have been playing regularly in and around town, selling out shows and gaining attention from local media and music listeners.  Each member of the band brings a personal touch to the overall sound and together they form a tight unit with palpable 'good vibe' on stage.  Whether you want a chorus you can tap your foot to, jaw dropping instrumentals, strong lyrical content or catchy melodies, you'll like this band.  They keep the arrangements clean, their voices blend beautifully and each player's talents are used to serve the song...because after all, for these guys the song still comes first.
