Artist Spotlight :: Amanda Stewart
Bio
Amanda Stewart is an American folk, country and pop artist based out of Bozeman, MT. With over 15 years of performing under her belt, Amanda is gearing up for the release of her debut album. Set to release in March, 2022, the 9 track, cross-genre inspired album illustrates her life thus far with songs about dealing with postpartum depression, love and struggling to make the right choices in life.
What/Who inspired you to pick up your instrument?
I've always been singing and performing. I was plugging away at the piano at a very young age as well. I just got to a point where I wanted to perform more, and wanted to write my own songs. My dad helped me pick out my first guitar, and then shortly after he passed away and I didn't play it for years. One day, I heard a melody in my head, and words to go with them that helped me sort out my feelings about him being gone. I wrote my first song that day and haven't stopped since.
What piece of musical advice would you give yourself if you could go back in time to the beginning of your musical journey?
Let your family (especially your poor mom who would sit outside your bedroom door every night and listen to you play) hear your music sooner. There's nothing to be afraid of! They love you and support you!
What keeps you excited about playing?
The feeling I get every time I start playing and singing. It's euphoric EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!
Desert Island 3 pedal pedalboard (not including tuner)
Reverb, delay, boost. That's all I need baby!
When you find yourself in a musical rut, what techniques do you do to break out of it?
I read a book, watch a movie, go hang out with my girlfriends and hear their stories. Then I write a song from their view, extrapolated a bit to fit my own narrative.
Who is your favorite artist/band today? And who was your favorite artist/band 10 years ago?
Today: Michigan Rattlers, Jade Bird, Savannah Conley, Fleetwood Mac
10 Years ago: Fleetwood Mac, Death Cab for Cutie
Not much has changed. I'm still just interested in killer songwriting.
When you find yourself in a music store - what is your go-to riff when test drive gear?
I always have to sing and play "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac
What is your most prized/cherished piece of gear? And why?
My pedalboard. A dear friend of mine helped me piece it together. And of course, I am in love with my Gibson SJ-200… wait, my hot pink quarter-inch cables from a Rattlesnake!!!
What is the next big musical purchase you're hoping to save for?
I need to get new connecting cables for my board…. Would like to invest in some sweet stage lighting too.
Gear Breakdown
I use quarter-inch and XLRs mostly... looking to transition the rest of my setup soon. I love that I get a cleaner signal, and even more, the fun colors! They make great gifts.
Professional looking and quality! Plus Rattlesnake company is amazing to work with!

I am very happy with the Snake Head cables I purchased. I had been using some older cables from years ago and the ones that still worked were starting to deteriorate. I came across Rattlesnake Cables through a friend and purchased two Snake Head cables in "Mean Green". The cables are beautiful and very well constructed. And I swear my tone just sounds better through these cables (could be in my head, but I'm happy!). I would absolutely recommend this company and their products. Great customer service, fast shipping, and the cables are quite excellent.

I bought two Rattlesnake standard 20 foot cables with gold connector plugs. These cables are truly superior products. I've been playing guitar and bass since 1963 and these are easily the highest quality cables I've owned in my 59 year musical journey, as mostly a hobbyist, but with significant stage and studio time. The cables are a heavier gauge than most on the market today, which I believe enhances the connectivity. I immediately noticed a slight boost in volume from my amp(s) and the sound produced seems to be more clear. Great signal transmitted! Although the cables are of a heavier gauge, they are flexible enough that they are easy to manage. There is none of the wrangling with twisting, and tangling that seems to go with both super stiff cables and cables that are lighter gauge wire. Those of you who have been frustrated with this know what I mean. Rattlesnake offers a variety of colorful outer plastic sheathing for their cables. Color choices and patterns range from subdued to very colorful. They look cool, seal the cable to the connectors, and serve to help the with the manageability of the cables as described in the paragraph above. The sheathing also makes coiling the cables for storage after use a breeze. The buying and customer service experience was also superior. Probably, hands down, the best online buying experience I've had. Confirmations and notifications about the status of my order were immediate. I bought the cables on a Saturday, they were built and shipped the same day. I received them, from Montana to Iowa, on Monday. Hank followed up to make sure all was OK and then sent me a personalized video thanking me for my business. Rattlesnake Cables provides a superior product at a fair and reasonable price, a really nice buying experience, a simple order and check out process, top notch customer service and follow up, and immediate shipping.... all with a high-level personal touch. Oh, and did I mention their website is very cool and easy to navigate, plus provides great product information? What's not to like? Buy here with confidence. You won't be disappointed!
