Amber Rubarth spilte nylig på SXSW (en av verdens beste musikkbransje- treff & festivaler) i Austin (Texas) hvor hun fikk mildt sagt enorm mottagelse av både publikum og presse.
Artisten er foreløpig et ubeskrevet blad her i Norge men hun har over 1,3 millioner spillinger på MySpace, har hatt en låt med i “Greys Anatomy” og legger i sommer ut på Europa turné som også tar henne til Skandinavia som en direkte følge av suksessen hun gjorde på SXSW.

“Take the timelessness of Patsy Cline. Mix in the insatiable curiosity of Socrates. Give it an edge, a roughness, refined in the spirit but raw in the performance, like someone singing in the shower. You’ll start to have an idea of what makes up AMBER RUBARTH.
At 17-years old Amber moved to Nevada to become a wood sculptor. 3 years later the head instructor told her the most important thing he had learned was for a person to follow their number one passion. Amber said “Thank you, then I am quitting and doing music,” and off she went, trading her chainsaw for a guitar.
She began touring, and people took notice. Hollywood’s music magazine Music Connection voted her in their Hot 100 Artists. Her debut CD was named Top 10 Albums Of The Year (alongside Kanye West & Alicia Keys) by the Owl Mag. NPR loved her “honesty and humor.” Her musical hero Tom Waits helped choose “Washing Day” (co-written with Adam Levy of Norah Jones’ Band) as 1st place in the International Songwriting Competition for Lyrics. And her songs have generated over 1,3 million plays at MySpace
“Every so often an artist arrives with a lyrical ability to convey the simplest of things. With Amber Rubarth it’s all in the detail. Refreshingly unique in her styling, Rubarth has built an eclectic collection of songs from the fun and frivolous to the raw and destructive – her voice knows no bounds where genre is concerned. But it’s in her lyrics where the most satisfaction is found. Inspired by the works of Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen, her musings on life are delightful in their innocence and have the capacity to appeal to the most diverse audience. It’s this very trait that bodes for a very promising future in which Rubarth will continue to break moulds.” – Joel Crane NME, Q, Mojo (UK)
