Amanda Cook, raised in Florida, now finds her home in the Virginia Mountains. She learned bluegrass from her father, an avid banjo player. In 2007, she started the group High Cotton with her father and this inspired her to tour professionally. In 2013, determined to create her own unique sound, Amanda stepped out on her own and released her first solo album, One Stop Along the Road. The self-released album brought Amanda her first radio chart success, appearing on the Top 150 Roots Music Bluegrass Album Charts for 2014 and 2015. In addition, she achieved significant regional attention that furthered her desire to grow her brand by establishing a full touring band.
In early 2017, Amanda signed with Mountain Fever Records and recorded her debut album On Deep Water. Amanda was excited for her second album project, especially since she and band member Carolyne Van Lierop co-wrote the title track. Amanda has created quite a loyal fan base through her palpable delivery of soul-wrenching songs. In addition, her light-hearted, down-to-earth style helps her create an undeniably strong connection with her audience.
In late 2018, Amanda signed a seven-year, five-album contract with Mountain Fever Records. Since signing, she has released five records on the label, further establishing herself as a leading voice in bluegrass music. On October 14, 2022, Mountain Fever Records released Amanda’s fourth full-length project, Changes, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart. In August 2025, Amanda became President of Mountain Fever Records, marking a new chapter in her career as both an artist and industry leader. Amanda Cook continues to garner chart success and critical acclaim, with new music set for release in October 2026.
“Amanda Cook is routinely compared to icons like Alison Krauss—she manages to honor the heritage of the genre while injecting a palpable modern soul into her delivery. It is a song that is both musically thrilling and emotionally anchoring, making it far more than just a single; it is a testament to the power of enduring, acoustic truth.”
