Album/Background Information:
‘Superheroes’ is Amber’s fourth album and a departure from her former sound, with an earthy, rockier feel, bordering on alt country. Recorded in Nashville with producer Matt Fell at the helm (Sara Storer, Graeme Connors, McAlister Kemp and Damien Leith, and ‘Producer of the Year’), Amber lyrically grapples life’s ups and downs through love, loss, freedom and
reflection within each song.
Amber has performed up to 1000 LIVE shows since the release of her debut EP, “I’ve Got The Blues” in 2006. During that time she has performed with Lee Kernaghan, The McClymonts, Melinda Schneider, Adam Harvey, Beccy Cole and Jason Owen and featured at all the major country music festivals including Tamworth Country Music Festival, Gympie Muster, Deni Ute Muster, CMC Rocks The Hunter and Nth QLD, Caboolture Urban, Mud Bulls and Music, Boyup Brook and more.
Amber is also a proud ambassador of “Cruisin’ Country”, “Mack Trucks”, and “The Stroke Foundation”.
