Amber Rubarth

After 3 years of sculpting wood as an apprentice at a little shop in Carson City, Amber Rubarth had a late-night conversation with her mentor who told her the most important thing he had learned in life was for a person to follow their number one passion.  Amber said something along the lines of "Thank you, I am quitting and doing music then," and off she went, trading her chainsaw for a guitar and teaching herself to write songs.

Her debut record was lauded as "Top 10 of 2005" in The Owl Mag (alongside Kanye West, Fiona Apple and Jack Johnson).  She toured non-stop across the US and Europe, fine-tuning her own style of songs that beamed a refreshing mixture of vulnerability and courage, melancholia and optimism.  "Washing Day" (co-written with Adam Levy) was awarded 1st Place in the International Songwriting Competition (Lyrics), judged by masters of their craft such as Tom Waits and Brian Wilson.  The music video for the song was selected for this year's SXSW festival, alongside videos for Thom Yorke and Weird Al Yankovic.  

As Music Connection (who put her in their Hot 100 Artists this year) says, Rubarth has "excellent mastery of the guitar, equally impressive on piano.. and a soaring voice that can belt out any tune... she may become unstoppable."  

Her debut album on Sounden Recordings, "New Green Lines" escapes May 6th, 2008.  Until then, catch her on the road throughout the U.S. and Europe.
