More info about Amy Rasdall (courtesy of Downtown Rock Springs):
A native of Maine, Amy Rasdall began her career in music at the age of 10. Her father worked extra jobs so that he could buy her a guitar for Christmas in 1987, and she has been playing ever since.
From 1995 to 1999 she attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where she earned a Bachelor of Music in Music Business Management. This degree track earned Amy many jobs and internships, such as the role of President of Heavy Rotation Records and President of the Music Business Association at Berklee. After graduating, she went on to work for PKA Management in Boston where she was the Executive Assistant to President Keith Garde (former co-manager of Aerosmith). The company was a consultant to Aerosmith and personal management team to Rockapella, Luxx and Brand New Immortals.
Amy also interned in Label Operations, Marketing and Distribution at Rykodisc Records in Salem, MA.
Hollywood was enticing, and Amy relocated to Los Angeles for one year. Starting as Concierge, she advanced to becoming Public Relations Coordinator for the Key Club on the Sunset Strip, responsible for publicity of the club as well private and public events.
Monetarily and physically, she needed to take time off from the music scene, as Hollywood had taken its toll. After moving to Wyoming, recharging for a decade and starting a family, she returned in 2009 with her brand Sick Like Me. Amy founded the record label of the same name in 2012 and released her first EP entitled “The Drum Cave Sessions” in April of 2013, enlisting other Berklee Alumni as key performers on her recordings. Her instrumental song “All 9 of Us” appeared on the nationally-aired reality TV show “Gearheads” in March of 2014.
Currently, Amy has turned her business – Sick Like Me Music, LLC – into a production, promotion and management company geared toward representing local and regional music. Her latest and highest priority focus is as personal manager to the rock band ZamTrip. With her guidance, ZamTrip has doubled their regional exposure and solidified their name as a company and brand that will reach specifically outlined marketing goals while expanding their listening audience and fan base.
Amy is an Elite member of GoGirlsMusic.com and is also a member of the Songwriting and Music Business Community headed by Amanda Williams out of Nashville, TN.
The Brown Bag Concert Series is sponsored by 1st Bank and WyoRadio.
