About Us
Mentorship: A two way street
SHADES members comprised of Abigail Riggins and Amanda Ashley from Rochester, NY met in the quest of growth and mentorship. Collaboratively they established a bond that would further transpire into a musical partnership, throughout the Covid shutdown, virtually composing over fourteen songs. Their beautiful, inspiring sisterhood is a reflection of their shared passion for life, love, expressive writing, and music.
Together they may be found performing their original work and a wide variety of popular (multi-genre) covers locally throughout the Rochester music scene with the intention to branch outward throughout New York and beyond. They currently are working on recording their second single, and anticipate releasing their first EP in January 2023.
Looking to the Future
We’re currently continuing to write and perform locally in Western, NY as we simultaneously gear up to get back in the studio to record our next single, "Fallen."
We have an anticipated EP release set for January 2025.
