Bio
About Amanda and Her Tall Glass of Water:
Guitar and mandolin? Check! Upright bass? Check! Amanda Duncan is raring to go! She returns to us after having
toured over 70 colleges and universities this past year. As a solo act, she was even chosen as the 2011 Campus
Activities Magazine Choice Award Winner for Best Female Performer. But this time around, she's got some new tricks up her sleeve. With Michael Basmagy laying down the bass (aka, the "tall glass of water"), they deliver a harmony-laced,
acoustic whirlwind of a performance every time. With their old-fashioned lemonade- sipping pop songs, Amanda
Duncan and Her Tall Glass of Water will always keep you on the edge of your seat with a smile on your face.

Quotes from Students:
We had Amanda here last Thursday and I just wanted to get in touch with you about how it went. Everyone loved her, she was so much fun to work with and the audience really loved her performance. She stuck around to talk to everyone that wanted to meet her and even gave some advice to performers coming to our next open mic! She connected really well with everyone and was so much fun to have here. We were very pleased with how the night went.
Thanks so much for everything :]
Cheers,
