Originally from Maine, Amber traveled over 3000 miles to bring her old time style and her powerful voice to the west coast of California. She spent her early years surrounded by gospel music in a small town church where her father still preaches and her mother plays piano. Commonly referred to as "The little girl with the big voice," Amber is becoming known for her unique straight forward style of singing and has been likened to that of an old Smithsonian recording. She writes from her own life struggles and experiences delivering her stories with unforgettable power and emotion.
Her mentors are many including the likes of Hazel Dickens, Iris Dement, Rose Maddox, Tom Waits, Greg Brown and The Carter Family, just to name few. She has performed in duets as well as full band arrangements and is now polishing her solo style. Currently she is working on her new CD which is to be released in 2010 on Old Fahioned Records.
