About
With a BA in Professional music from Berklee College of Music in Boston. Baisinger has been singing and writing songs, teaching music and performing with her band since graduating from Berklee in 2001. An ever changing road, a beautiful life experience, Baisinger independently released Short Songs EP in 2004 receiving a warm audience from critics and piers.
"With stunningly smoky vocals reminiscent of Paula Cole, the lilt of Joni Mitchell and the lush, jazzy warmth of Norah Jones, Amanda Baisinger enchants her listeners with a combination of elegance, emotion and sophisticated artistry. Her voice slides gently over languid melodies, the resonance filling in all the little pockets of harmony that dance between pop, jazz and folk. Always, there is a beautiful, exquisite haze that fills the air when her music begins. Whether it's a soundtrack to an evening of candle light or thoughtful driving music you're after, "Short Songs" is one of the most quietly striking albums of its sort to grace our warehouse in ages." CD Baby
Short Songs was acclaimed for Baisinger's poetic expressions of personal experience, her mellow combination of jazz and pop that created a warm and romantic atmosphere. Her influences range from Milton Nacimento to Billie Holiday but her singing style and story-telling are most reminiscent of Joni Mitchell.
In 2012 Baisinger released “Stillness” a meditation CD available on itunes
