Amanda Lehmann

Amanda Lehmann is an international solo recording artist, performer, composer, singer and guitarist, also known for her collaborations with former Genesis guitarist, Steve Hackett. Her music incorporates a fusion of prog, rock, ballads, and elements of jazz-blues.

After a musical career spanning over three decades, singer/songwriter/guitarist Amanda released her debut solo album Innocence and Illusion in 2021.

Amanda’s career has incorporated thousands of live shows, performing extensively around the UK with her own band in the 80s and 90s and latterly touring with Steve Hackett between 2009 – to date. She has previously released a solo EP ‘Shadow’ in 2010, and a duo album ‘Wazzoon’ in 1994 (remastered 2021). In 2022, Amanda released a single ‘One Last Spin’ which she wrote to highlight the harms from gambling.

Amanda has always adored singing and as a teenager she began to study the styles of various vocalists to work out what techniques they used and forging a vocal style of her own. “My vocals are always adapting” says Amanda “I like to vary my style according to the song I’m singing; different techniques work for different songs.”

Originally classically trained on the piano, Amanda fell in love with the power of the overdriven guitar. Self-taught, she went ahead and learnt tricks and tips from experienced players, all the time creating a style combining influences of rock, blues and folk. “You never stop learning” says Amanda “which is part of the joy of music.”
