Amidst cording-off dance sections and caution-taping-off the "stage" areas to adhere to CDC guidelines, it is a PURE gift to perform LIVE again. THANK YOU to all who attend, and THANK YOU to those who can not come out, yet support my music in so many other ways.
For those of you who aren't able to attend the shows, I want to share a snippet from my band's Monterey Court show last month. Watch Good Day to Be Alive HERE.
And speaking of a "Good Day to Be Alive", read my blog about the inspiration for this song HERE. Hmm..gratitude and veteran stories - feels like November holiday season to me!
I will leave you with words from my "Good Day to Be Alive" song - may we be "grateful for the day, each song we sing, if we are still here, we've got love to bring...bring it on."
My gratitude, peace and love to you,
Amber
PS - In case you missed it:
Check out my LYRIC VIDEO for Roots Run Deep with "bonus footage" of my bandmates working on the song and also of me during the photoshoot for the album; AND my interview about the new album at KXCI 91.3FM's Broad Perspectives Show HERE .
Live shows are slowly starting back up! If the whole covid thing has inspired you to use more "plastic" (debit/credit cards) than cash these days, here is an option to tip virtually. Your generosity keeps the music alive! TOGETHER we thrive! Other options are VENMO @Amber-Norgaard or PayPal.me/ambernorgaard
