Amanda Palmer is an American performer, director, composer, and musician. She first gained recognition as the lead singer, keyboardist, and songwriter of The Dresden Dolls. In 2008, she released her debut solo album and quickly became known for her piano skills. She also developed a passion for playing the ukulele.

In 2012, Amanda Palmer released an album called "Theatre Is Evil," which was entirely funded by her supporters. This groundbreaking project became the top crowd-funded music endeavor and even reached the Billboard Top Ten.

Aside from her musical accomplishments, Amanda Palmer is also a published author. Her memoir "The Art of Asking" was a best-seller in late 2014. It delves into her artistic perspectives and personal experiences as a street performer in Grand Central.

Amanda Palmer has embraced new ways to connect with her fans and support herself financially. Since March 2015, she has been using Patreon as her primary source of income while fostering direct communication with her community.

Her most recent solo album in 2019 explores profound themes such as life, death, abortion, and miscarriage. Throughout her career, Amanda Palmer has collaborated with various artists but remains married to writer Neil Gaiman since January 2011. Together they have one child named Anthony “Ash” Palmer Gaiman.

Amanda Palmer with the eagerly-awaited release of her first solo album in more than six years. The album is the multi-faceted artist's most powerful and personal collection to date, with songs that tackle the big questions: life, death, grief and how we make sense with it all. While the themes may be dark, the album's overall sonic and lyrical mood is one of triumph in the face of life's most ineffably shitty circumstances. 

Palmer's often-overlooked skills as a pianist mark the LP with a stark but grand sonic approach utterly distinct from her two prior solo albums. Indeed, the album's 10 songs feature only a few extra overdubs provided by key associates, including John Congleton, Palmer's friend and frequent collaborator Jason Webley, Montreal-based programmer / keyboardist Max Henry and veteran drummer Joey Waronker. Longtime collaborator Jherek Bischoff also added touches of prepared piano and upright bass; he also arranged 10 short orchestral instrumentals based on the motifs of the songs, creating an intermission of sorts between each track. Somber yet exultant, There Will be no Intermission presents still more dimensions to Amanda Palmer's already voluminous talent, once again confirming her as a master songwriter at the height of considerable power.
