Amanda King

Hailed by critic Stephen Holden in the New York Times as one of the nightclub world’s “exceptional rising talents,” Amanda King is a classic chanteuse who performs swinging standards, jazz and more. She is a devoted fan of classic movie musicals and relishes diving into history to share the stories, songs and people that make up the treasure trove of pre-1950's American popular music. A vivacious and captivating performer bringing to mind the great ladies of song, noted jazz journalist/historian Scott Yanow writes that Amanda is “an important up-and-coming singer - she has a strong voice, a wide range, and the ability to dig deep into the lyrics while always swinging. Plus she always sings with a smile in her voice.”

One of Las Vegas' foremost jazz stylists, the amazing Amanda King performs regularly at numerous local venues, including The Mob Museum and The Dispensary Lounge.

Her highly successful show, "A Salute to Ella: The Early Years," features the history of young Ella Fitzgerald through her brilliant time with the Chick Webb Orchestra. She also opened the 2017-18 Bay Area Cabaret season with other noted jazz performers in the world-famous Venetian Room at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, is a featured performer with The Cole Porter Society, and released "It's Christmas" with Amanda King," a holiday collection that was co-produced by Barry Manilow's Musical Director, Joey Melotti, and featuring some of Las Vegas' finest musicians.
