Thank you for all the support over this past year. Because of you – your orders, music streams, song commissions and generous tips, I continue to create music. New ways of being are on the horizon. May we proceed into the Great Mystery of 2021 in grace. And may we reach beyond the great divide, communicating in civility and respect with each other.
What I love about music – it transcends the veils of separation. When we partake in music together, we share in the same vibration of melody and rhythm, and for a moment, all the babble of the world subsides and we are one.
In February 2020, I wrote “How We Spend Our Time” as I reflected on the state of things. I will leave you with a portion of the lyrics:
Love or war, the clock ticks on
A gift or curse unwinds,
Rage or joy, the choice is ours
How we spend our time
How we spend our time
May we choose love.
Blessings and light to you,
Amber
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
FIRST FRIDAYS are always FUN at Wisdom's Cafe' with music, friends and fabulous food/beverages. Wisdom's is adhering to AZ Dept of Health Services guidelines w/ socially distanced seating, masks required when not seated, no dancing, and Amber will be entertaining behind plexiglass until the guidelines advise otherwise.
Blending folk, rock, roots, and viola magic into a fun, and uplifting evening of music, singer/songwriter Amber Norgaard (piano, guitar, vocals) and Seth Murzyn (viola) play a mix of their own original songs as well as a wide variety of recognizable tunes by other artists covered in their own “original” way. Join us outdoors on the ¡DOS! patio for this special 3rd Friday show!
