“Blending folk/Americana influences with Mediterranean, Balkan, and Latin rhythms Pascali’s songs are powerful tales of America told through the eyes of immigrants and those who have always felt like the “other”.
“The internationally acclaimed, bilingual singer/songwriter and 2021 Houston Chronicle “Musician of the Year,” was born in New York City, and is based in Texas. Amanda has performed internationally, from the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. to the European Union Parliament in Brussels, and her song Over the Sea was featured as the soundtrack to the opening scene of the new Italian film Indelebile (English title: Family First) (2024). Endorsed by the US State Department and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a Fulbright Fellow, she pioneered the first comprehensive project to translate and revitalize Sicilian folk songs.”
“One of Texas’s most acclaimed and promising young songwriters.”
– Jesse Sendejas (Houston Press)
“Pascali paints a visceral portrait of the immigrant experience; deftly cloaked in old-world style.”
– Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul and Mary)
