Biography

Amanda Carol “Mandy” Barnett (born September 28, 1975 in Crossville, Tennessee) is a country music singer and stage actress. In her musical career, she has released three albums and charted three singles on the Billboard country charts.

Born Amanda Carol Barnett, the only child of Betty and Dan Barnett (who worked respectively as a bookkeeper and contractor), she was named after Amanda Blake, the husky-voiced actress who played Miss Kitty on the long-running television western “Gunsmoke.” Barnett began her musical career by singing in church at the age of five. Members of the congregation noticed her perfect pitch, and that her vocal performance had star quality. Her mother encouraged her by booking singing engagements wherever people would listen: bowling alleys, VFW halls and political rallies (notably for Lamar Alexander and future Vice President Al Gore, Jr… When there was no venue, she would perform in parking lots. By age nine, her father financed a professionally recorded gospel music album. The following summer, she had joined a summer theatre cast at Dollywood and shared the stage with Dolly Parton herself. It was during her two years at Dollywood that she won a talent contest that included making a demo in Nashville, just a two-hour drive from her home.

During the trip to Nashville, Betty Barnett worked to get her talented daughter a spot on the well-known “Midnight Jamboree” radio show, which aired after the Grand Ole Opry program on WSM-AM.

    I'm starting to give up hope on a new album, too.

    I've been hearing about a new cd for a few years now, but there's still none out. I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever be released.

    Does anyone know when Mandy's new cd is coming out? I've been waiting a long time for it. On her website it says this spring but no date is listed.
