Amanda Keeles, is a remarkable vocalist and songwriter who unites captivating melodies with stories crafted from her lived experiences. After dusting off her decades old songbook that she found herself always adding to but never pulling from, Keeles launched her explosively successful Country music career in January 2023, leaving behind a top position in the financial industry, and a relationship that did not encourage creative pursuits.
With multiple awards already to her name, Keeles has twice taken the top spot in The Canadian Open Singing/Songwriting Contest, had her second single ever featured on SiriusXM Canada’s Top of the Country, and has been added to commercial Country radio all across Canada. Launching her artist social media pages this February, Keele’s online profiles have soared to over 15,000 followers without any digital marketing support, effortlessly gaining fans everywhere her music is heard. Her stunning, feathery vocal tone ascends to incredible heights with ease, and fits seamlessly on top of her sunny, piano-born melodies.
Courageously diving headfirst into what has been a lifelong dream, Keeles caught the ear of Grammy Award nominated producer Johnny Gasparic, and recorded all of the music on her upcoming debut album at Calgary’s two-time Canadian Country Music Award winning recording studio, MCC Recording Studio, enlisting the support of some of Canada’s most recognized Country music musicians. From a teenager with a budding music career who was forced to wait over 30 years to launch, Amanda Keeles is continuing her sensational music debut with a warm and reminiscent third single about finding joy in the memory of a lost love, titled “Saving Grace”, which she recently released on Friday, September 22 2023.
Written by Amanda Keeles, “Saving Grace” was recorded at MCC Recording Studio in Calgary, AB, and was produced by Johnny Gasparic. Musicians on the track include Chris Byrne (The Road Hammers), Joey McIntyre, Keith Floen, Therry Lawson, and Bill Blayney.
