Amanda King
Amanda King is a classic chanteuse who performs swinging standards and jazz. Hailed by critic Stephen Holden in the New York Times as one of the nightclub world’s “exceptional rising talents”, Amanda is a vivacious and captivating performer bringing to mind the great ladies of song. A devoted fan of classic movie musicals, Amanda relishes diving into history to share the stories, songs and people that make up the treasure trove of pre-1950's American popular music. She is also a great educator and has taught jazz education classes for OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) at UNLV as well as presented workshops for the SFJAZZ Discover Jazz series. Since moving to Las Vegas in 2017 she has quickly become one of its top jazz performers.
