About

Provocative, irreverent, controversial and wildly creative, Amanda Palmer is a fearless singer, songwriter, playwright, blogger and an audaciously expressive pianist who simultaneously embraces – and explodes – traditional frameworks of music, theater and art.

Amanda first came to prominence as one half of the internationally acclaimed punk cabaret duo The Dresden Dolls. In 2008, she released her debut solo album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer, produced by Ben Folds and accompanied by a fine art photography book featuring text by esteemed author Neil Gaiman (who Palmer has since married). After parting ways with her record label in 2010, she self-released two EPs: Amanda Palmer Performs The Popular Hits of Radiohead On Her Magical Ukelele and Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under, along with a musical theater-esque Evelyn Evelyn album and tour with Jason Webley.

Amanda is widely known as “The Social Media Queen of Rock-N-Roll” for her constant and disarmingly intimate engagement with her fans via her blog, Tumblr, and Twitter (800,000+ followers), and has been at the vanguard of using both “direct to fan” and “pay what you want” (patronage) business models to build and run her business. In May of 2012 she made international news when she raised nearly $1.2 million pre-selling her new album, Theatre is Evil, along with related merchandise and “experiences” via Kickstarter. Theatre is Evil went on to debut in the “Billboard Top 10” when it was released on Sept. 11, 2012, and has been released in over 20 countries on her own label, 8ft records.

Amanda was invited to present a “TED Talk” at TED’s 2013 Conference. To date her Talk, “The Art of Asking”, has been viewed more than 8 million times worldwide. 2013 also saw the release of “An Evening with Neil Gaiman & Amanda Palmer”- a 3 CD collection of tracks culled from a live tour with her husband and best-selling author Neil Gaiman.

Following upon the success of her TED Talk- Amanda expanded her philosophy into a book. The Art of Asking was released worldwide in November of 2014 and became a New York Times Best Seller. In support of the book, Amanda is currently touring solo for the first time since 2011, hitting stages with a mix of rocking keyboard originals, ukulele ballads, and readings from The Art of Asking.

    AFP rocks!

    by Minerva on 2012-11-12The Phoenix Concert Theatre - Toronto

    Amanda Palmer and the GTO seriously rocked The Phoenix! She interacted quite a bit with the audience, and even did her encore with a mega phone from the back. It was a lot of fun, and I would definately recommend that if you have a chance to check out her live show GO! This was my first AFP show, and I can't wait for her to come back to Toronto!

    This was the best concert I have been to in the past couple years. Excellent voice and a great show. I can not wait until she returns. It was much much more then I expected and would highly recommend her to all my friends.

    AFP & GTO were phenomenal!

    by silvermoon82 on 2012-11-11The Phoenix Concert Theatre - Toronto

    Right from the first notes, the show was an absolute blast. The whole crew were in great form, energetic and passionate, having fun and projecting that to the crowd. High-energy, driving rock'n'roll mixed with... whatever it is that they do. Punk rock meets classical meets performance art, and more than that.
