Hello, out there! 

This past month I traveled beyond my regular southern Arizona performance spots and sang to the red rocks (and some folks) in Sedona. I also performed “One Flame” in Iowa (thank you, Court & Steven!). 

“One Flame” is a wedding song that I wrote in 2009. The song has had a life of its own since then. It's been included in wedding ceremony playlists and the sheet music has sold in various countries. I feel blessed to have my songs be part of people's life soundscapes commemorating important moments. 

I always think of music as a metaphorical midwife helping us move through the chapters of life. I feel more in alignment when I am playing it and listening to it. 

May you feel the melody, rhythm and lyrics that you need to easily flow through life's chapters. 

Wishing you peace, love and light,
Amber

The heat of the desert is here. I am grateful for the monsoons rolling in, AND to the fire crews who work around the clock quelling lightening-ignited fires, often in treacherous mountain terrain. 

This season reminds me of the video shoot I did years ago at Equine Voices Rescue & Sanctuary for “Raise Me Up”, the song I wrote for them and filmmaker Marcus De Leon. We literally had one take in the area with the horses before a monsoon unexpectedly came upon us. Check out the end of the video to see the magnificent lightening bolt caught on film between me and the horse (yes, it's REAL). 

My grandpa was a horse trainer, so maybe singing to horses is one of my genetic callings ;-). My dad has a passion for music. I thank him everyday for my musical calling. 

Happy Father's Day to the all the father figures out there.

Much love and light,
Amber

PS - Here's a fun video (click link) I put together of my rockstar Dad who not only inspired the music, but taught me how to drive tractors from a wee-bitty age.

Happy May y’all! 

I had such a fun evening last week returning to Monterey Court with my friend and musical co-inspirer Sabra Faulk. I posted a snippet of us playing “Rising” on my Facebook page. 

This weekend is Mother’s Day. I love thinking about all the songs I’ve done in honor of moms, the mother energy and the life they bring into the world. Here are a few that are dear to my heart: “Mama’s Eyes” (inspired by my own mom), “Blessed With Life” , and finally “Your Love Is” - a very special collaboration/commission project I did in honor of the moms who are no longer with us. 

May we all tap into the “mom” energy, be love and extend our heart into the world.
