Bridge 19

Bridge 19 is an alternative folk band made up of Amanda Lucas and Audrey Cecil. Amanda and Audrey are harmony driven and extremely passionate about their music. They have shared the stage with artists such as: Ben Sollee, Garrison Starr, Girlyman, Company of Thieves, and many other musicians!
They are currently in the studio recording their first album that is to be released this spring, that of which I am very excited for! Amanda and Audrey are from Louisville, KY, which was only an hour away from where I lived the past few years. Over those years I became more than just a fan of theirs, I was their good friend. Folk is my favorite genre of music, and I love Bridge 19's sound. I think they are amazing musicians who are going to make it big. I believe in their music; it inspires me. As time went on and I realized I wanted to go to Full Sail University possibly for artist management, it was as if a light bulb went off in my head. I had to somehow start off my future career by working with them. My first opportunity to do so was two weekends ago when I had the pleasure of joining my friends of Bridge 19 in Georgia for the Atlanta Pride Festival. Their band was one of the numerous bands/artists who played live music for tons of festivalgoers. I helped them, in a small way, by passing out handbills to potential fans and selling their merchandise during their set.

Although my role was small, I was extremely happy they asked me to help. Giving me backstage access and working along their side opened the door for me into the music business for the first time ever. I felt as if my heart belonged in the music industry, and that feeling has gotten me even more excited about my current education and future career goals. I have high hopes for Bridge 19; they are incredibly talented and together they are an unstoppable duo. Their energy is through the roof, and I truly hope I get to work with them on a more permanent basis in the near future.  Give them a listen, and then go check out their Facebook page! You can also read more about them and/or find their concert schedule on their website.
