Mandy Prater is an Austin, Texas-based musician, singer and songwriter. She would probably tell you that music has saved her life many times since she started her first garage band as a young teen in small-town Indiana.
She writes about love, vulnerability, and the courage to be authentic, with music and melodies that are accessible while still maintaining an edge that hearkens back to a DIY and alternative aesthetic.
Her newest single, “On The Outside” (Fall 2021) is a hopeful tune about escaping everyday life during pandemic-times. Its catchy melodies and relatable lyrics transport the listener to a more carefree era. In 2020, she released “Keep Calm”, which was added to Spotify playlists and received plays on independent radio stations across the U.S.
The Cactus Cafe is a live music venue and bar in the historic Texas Union on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin. Located in Austin, Texas, a city frequently referred to as “the live music capital of the world,” a number of well-known artists have played in the Cactus, and Billboard Magazine named it as one of fifteen “solidly respected, savvy clubs” in the United States, “from which careers can be cut, that work with proven names and new faces.”
