We were so elated to celebrate Christmas and my hubby’s birthday with Mandy Harvey at Dazzle!
This was our third Christmas Concert and I am so very thankful to be able to go and have never had a problem with chemicals there (air fresheners and perfumes).
It was SO great to see Mandy and give her big hugs! I have missed her! She has really been busy after being on America’s Got Talent in 2017! As you probably know, she placed forth!
We are so very proud of her and are elated that she is able to live her dream of singing and a making a difference in this world with her message of love and perseverance!
I am SO excited to see my friend, Mandy Harvey on America’s Got Talent! I have been to several of her concerts and events through the Invisible Disabilities Association. She is AMAZING! Her voice gives me chills, with her incredible, unique tone.
I have been so blessed to spend time with her over the years, not only because of her voice, but because of who she is as a person. Mandy has a passion to encourage people to never give up, keep trying and believe in yourself.
She is simply has it all. She has a spectacular voice, story of perserverance, inspirational message, adorable personality and exquisit beauty.

Mandy has produced three CD’s and has performed for many prestigious venues.

Mandy Featured at a Block Party
9/27/2017 Outdoor Concert: We were so excited to see our friend, Mandy Harvey, at an outdoor concert! Wowee! What a fun block party with Mandy! I only made it through half her concert (I have MS and Late-Lyme Disease). I also had a major reaction to heat and air fresheners inside the building. Still, it was such a treat to see her again! I got to hear two of my favorites, “Cry Me a River” and her original, “Release Me!”
But don’t tell anyone … but we got to go backstage and get hugs! I have missed you so much, Mandy! More Details.
She Makes It Into the Quarter Finals

And her inspirational message of hope encourages everyone to make a difference in someone else’s life. She has it all!
6/7/2017 AGT Audition: We are so proud of Mandy Harvey! Mandy made her debut on America’s Got Talent last night with her original song, “Try.” This song was inspired by Mandy’s struggle to start writing and singing again after losing her hearing.

Mandy Harvey’s America’s Got Talent Audition gets Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell
We were so excited to go to this Mandy Harvey Concert! We hadn’t seen her since last December. I have missed my sweet Mandy Girl! Wowee! What a fun block party with Mandy!
I only made it through half her concert (I have MS and Late-Lyme Disease). I also had a major reaction to heat and air fresheners inside the building.
But what a treat it was to see her again! I got to hear two of my favorites, “Cry Me a River” and her original, “Release Me!” And don’t tell anyone … but we got to go backstage and get hugs! I have missed you so much, Mandy!
Who is Mandy Harvey?
You have probably seen Mandy on America’s Got Talent! She auditioned with her original song, “Try” and got the Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell! When she returned to the LIVE Quarter Finals, she sang another original, “Mara’s Song.” She was voted into the Semi-Finals starting September 5th. We are so excited for you, Mandy!
Mandy lost her hearing in college while studying music. She was devastated! Her life was all about music and she watched her dream vanish! Her father encouraged her to try to sing without being able to hear. Mandy was able to sing through muscle memory to hit the note and of course, she could read music. She went on to work very hard daily to practice feeling the notes in her vocal cords, throat and head, she uses a piano tuner to keep her pitch and she feels the music from the band through her feet and body.
We are cheering for you, Mandy! The world is discovering what we have known for years. You are an incredible vocalist and songwriter with amazing perseverance and message for us all to never give up and “TRY!”
