Based in Portland, OR, ᴍᴏᴏɴʀᴏᴡ fuses the raw energy of rock and roll with the heartfelt storytelling of folk music.

Queer front-woman Amanda Munro started her career as a solo singer/songwriter with the release of her EP "Clean Slate." After connecting with established Portland musicians Kelly Clifton, Phillip Andrews, and Simeon Kulp, ᴍᴏᴏɴʀᴏᴡ was born.

The band enhances Amanda's resonant vocals, characteristic raw lyrics, and infectious melodies to deliver an irresistible sonic experience. Clifton's signature groovy bass lines combined with Andrew's nimble drumming and Kulp's distinctive guitar licks create a synergy and heart that is unmatched.

Drums

Phillip Andrews (he/him/his)

Phillip started playing Rock Band drums in 7th grade and thought, “Hey, I wonder if I could do this for real,” so he got his first drum kit that Christmas. He got his start in live music playing at church, and then in college playing funk and jazz.

Lead Singer / Songwriter

Amanda Munro (she/her/hers)

Amanda has been writing songs and playing piano since she was ten, but got serious about music at age 20 when she picked up a guitar for the first time in the mountains of Colombia. As a solo singer/songwriter, she made her musical debut as a queer Americana artist with her first EP “Clean Slate” in 2020 which was nominated for Best Folk/Acoustic Album at the San Diego Music Awards. Since then, she has embarked on a number of musical projects.

Lead Guitar

Simeon Kulp (he/him/his)

Simeon thinks music is pretty neat, especially music that moves you and gets you to move. Amanda and Simeon met and first started collaborating in 2020. He wants to play in a rock and roll band when he grows up.
