Joy From Osheaga Makes Its Way Down the 401
Anyone at Osheaga thinking that the Scène des Arbres would be a quiet refuge from the hordes of music lovers at the festival was in for a surprise when Amanda and the band took the stage yesterday. A modest crowd of about 30 people grew ten times bigger in less than 15 minutes. By the last song, over 300 happy faces were relishing in the infectious end of fan favorite “Don’t It Feel Good,” clapping and singing “Do what you do.” Many thanks to this fantastic audience of joyful, dancing revelers.

Ontario fans who weren’t able to make it out to Osheaga, have no fear. Amanda will be performing at a venue near you this week. Take your pick depending on where you hang your hat.
This Thursday, August 5th, the band will be playing in Waterloo at Maxwell’s Music House with Michael Dainjah and Paddy Townsend. Doors at 8:30pm.
Friday, August 6th, get ready to be spoiled at The Drake Hotel in Toronto: Amanda will be playing with Montreal trip-hop artist, Elsiane. Wowing crowds since they first shared the stage in November 2009, the two deliciously weave their voices together to create a cinematic feast for your ears. Says The Drake: “Confirming Montreal’s status as a musical goldmine, Elsiane and Amanda Mabro join forces for a double-header of vastly unique yet surprisingly complementary styles.” Doors at 8pm. Come see what all the fuss is about. You will get goose bumps. Don’t be alarmed. We warned you.
Amanda Mabro + Elsiane at The Drake in Toronto!
