Surprisingly, they really are a family! Amanda is Mum to co-lead singer Lorien and lead guitarist Sky, and together they form a unique and independent Folk/Rock Band with a passion for music. The folk roots run deep through this two-generation band, which is apparent in their style of writing and musical content, and with four previous generations of professional musicians (that can be traced so far) they couldn't really do anything else!
