“Violin was my first form of expression - and is still in a lot of ways...” — Amanda Shires Quote

“Violin was my first form of expression - and is still in a lot of ways.”

“I wasn't getting any work as a songwriter in Texas because I was only known as a fiddle player.”

“I just write what I write, produce the music I produce and try to give myself a chance to stay true to the art form. If you try to rein in an art form, it can be hurtful to what you are making.”

“I used to play violin, but I wasn't very good!”

“I grew up playing piano and violin, and then basketball took over.”

“I actually played violin on 'E.T.' I used to be a violinist.”
