Amanda Pearcy

McGonigel’s Mucky Duck presents Amanda Pearcy.

Amanda Pearcy’s music is rooted in her hardscrabble history, authentically grounded in her earthy, soulful voice. Testifying to her southeast Texas upbringing, Pearcy’s songs carry a sense, and the sensuality, of the South, weaving themes of home and its loss; love, both surrendered to, and longed for; and our human experience’s collective memory.

Her third album with producer Tim Lorsch, An Offering, continues the journey where the critically acclaimed Royal Street left off, settling in for the ride through the Deep South back to Texas; the timeless sound rolling with the heat waves off an asphalt highway, and quenching the thirst of a steamy summer evening.

Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billie Joe” fits right in with the 11 original compositions, Pearcy’s own lyrics shining a light on the dark places of struggle prior to surrendering to life’s tougher lessons, with a faith in the insight that comes with getting to the other side of them.
