INFO: getting her name from the tip cup dangling from her fiddle case, amanda kapousouz (aka the tin cup prophette) is no stranger to the stage. once hailing from new york city, this "busker extraordinaire" entertained thousands of commuters daily on subway platforms for small change. working her way above ground, amanda began to play with various bands in the city ranging in style from traditional irish and heavy metal bluegrass to jazz, dixieland, and rock-n-roll. she has also composed music for modern dance, arranged music for film, and has toured extensively in the irish music circuit. "gaining experience from playing with so many different bands and being exposed to different styles of fiddling have really helped me develop as a musician", she says. in addition to music, amanda is an academic tutor to children in the entertainment industry with credits including school of rock , the emperor's club , the big apple circus and the sopranos . "teaching is NO 9-5 job, especially in the entertainment industry, and paired with a music career, well, there's really no time to sleep."
