Bio / Background
As a ten year old Amanda Shires fell in love with the fiddle the first time she saw one. It was a green and yellow, no-name Chinese student model, but soon she was playing “The Spanish Two-Step”. Within a year she became an original member of todayÂ’s well-known Ranch Dance Fiddle Band. In addition to beginning her life long passion with swing and traditional fiddle styles, she also played in school, city and regional orchestras and symphonies earning distinction in various competitions.
Upon graduation from Lubbock High School she enrolled in the world famous South Plains College School of Music where she met several other young budding musicians. Pooling their talents they formed the Thrift Store Cowboys. Three critically acclaimed albums and several national tours later they are one of the brightest stars in the current crop of hot alternative country bands.
Shires' musical interests have always been wide and variant.
