MAS Presents is excited to host the Colorado debut performance of an outstanding new artist based in Austin TX along with Addison Freeman.
Amanda Pascali writes and sings what she calls “Immigrant American Folk”, a sound born out of the complicated, beautiful overlap of identity, place, and history. As a first-generation American born in New York City and raised in Texas, she grew up woven from stories of migration, reinvention, and survival. As she puts it, she “constantly felt ‘too foreign for here, too foreign for home, and never enough for both.’”
She picked up a guitar at 12, and by her twenties began channeling that “in-between” feeling into music - translating ancient Sicilian folk songs, weaving them with folk, Americana, Balkan, Mediterranean, and Latin rhythms, and giving voice to her family’s legacy.
Her brand-new album Roses and Basil (2025) is more than a record, it’s a bridge between past and present, between continents, languages, and generations. The album blends original songs and reimagined Sicilian serenatas, sung in English and Sicilian, and produced with care and creativity by Robert Ellis. On the lead single Wake Up, Baby! (E Vui Durmiti Ancora) is a modern take on one of Sicily’s earliest serenatas - Pascali flips the script: the serenade becomes a story not of male longing from a balcony, but a woman’s voice in the 21st century: “is she really sleeping, or is she just leaving him on read?”
Her music carries a duality: tender and fiery, ancestral and modern, vulnerable yet boldly proud. As she says, she sings “for anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t fit in … to invite them to join me in the space that I’ve created, where everyone can be proud of who they are and where they come from.” "Pascali paints a visceral portrait of the immigrant experience; deftly cloaked in old-world style." - Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul and Mary)
Amanda has been praised by NPR, the Bluegrass Situation, and numerous international outlets. She has already taken this music to stages across the world - from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., to the European Union Parliament in Brussels, and was named 2021 Houston Chronicle "Musician of the Year," Now, her journey brings her to Denver for the first time.
If you’ve ever felt between identities, between “here” and “home,” Amanda Pascali’s songs will meet you there. Her music is for those of us searching for a home in the in-between.
