Amanda Crumley / Ben Tonak

  • Trident Booksellers & Cafe 940 pearl street Boulder, CO 80302 USA (map)

Amanda Crumley is a singer-songwriter who is re-emerging.  Equal parts Radiohead and Dolly Parton (among countless others) influence songs that are fully her own. After pursuing jazz in graduate school and a few years beyond, she established herself in Chicago as a songwriter, performer and bandleader. After releasing her second and final album with her former band, Mandy and the Bandits, sunnier days beckoned, and she moved to Los Angeles from where inspiration had been calling her.  Since then she has been quietly and consistently writing, and getting her sea legs as a solo performer.  Denver has proven to be fertile creative ground,  and she is now planning to record a new album of original music. Among the many threads of her music comes a new offering: self-acceptance.

Ben Tonak has been playing across Colorado and Wyoming for more than 20 years. In 2021, he released the full-length album "Places for Everything." He currently performs solo and with his live band as Ben Tonak and the Bad Fix. In 2024 he released the single "Halloween".  He has just released a new full-length album "To Believe" in February 2025.
