AMBER RUBARTH
“Songs so strong they sound like classics from another era.” – ACOUSTIC GUITAR
“You will leave with a crush on her.” – BOSTON GLOBE
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.
Touring from South Africa to Japan and all throughout Europe and North America, her music has taken her from a sold out stage at Carnegie Hall to Glastonbury Festival (UK), to being handpicked to open for legendary artists including Emmylou Harris, Richie Havens, Dr. Ralph Stanley and Kenny Loggins. Grand Prize Winner of the prestigious NPR Mountain Stage contest, songwriting is at the heart of how Rubarth navigates the world.
Amber Rubarth made her acting debut starring in the feature film AMERICAN FOLK (out now on Amazon) winning numerous festivals and awards and being called “Superb… A heartfelt homage to American folk music,” – HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, and “Enchanting” – ROLLING STONE. She has scored and composed for many films including Sundance Film Festival winner JOAN RIVERS: A PIECE OF WORK and the award-winning documentary DESERT RUNNERS and recently co-produced a double album of 24 artists for the documentary FANTASTIC FUNGI. Her latest album COVER CROP is a meditation on sustainability and interconnectivity through the lens of 15 cover songs self-produced and recorded at her cottage in the woods of the Hudson Valley, New York.

Amber Rubarth Biography
"Part of the new old-soul generation." - HUFFINGTON POST
"She has developed a unique gift of knocking down walls with songs so strong they sound like classics from another era." - ACOUSTIC GUITAR MAGAZINE
Amber Rubarth has a playful simplicity and insightfulness to her musings on life that connects with people around the world. She has performed in villages across South Africa and small clubs in Japan, at Carnegie Hall, and backed up by a full chamber orchestra, as well as hundreds of clubs and theaters throughout Europe and the US. "She has developed a unique gift of knocking down walls with songs so strong they sound like classics from another era." -Acoustic Guitar Magazine. The word has spread organically around her independently released albums, attracting glowing features from The Huffington Post, NPR, and BBC Radio. She has been hand-picked to open tours for songwriting legends Emmylou Harris, Kenny Loggins, Richie Havens, Marc Cohn, Loudon Wainwright III and Dr. Ralph Stanley and was awarded Grand Prize in NPR's Mountain Stage New Song Contest. A live recording of Rubarth from Memphis' legendary Sun Studio is currently airing on PBS.
Rubarth's newest record, Wildflowers in the Graveyard, is a collection of songs centered around the theme of of life/death/rebirth in nature and relationships. It opens with her raw vocals and a finger-picked guitar, "There are wildflowers springing up at the graveyard / An oak tree that's been standing here so long / And dandelions pretty in the sunshine / 'til the wind blows and they're gone." All songs are self-penned and recorded analogue straight to 2" tape with engineer and co-producer Matt Andrews (Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings, Dawes) in her hometown of Nashville. The record has a bold magnetic energy that draws you in to each nuance and detail, revealing layers with the elegance of a wildflower.
In addition to her solo music, Amber recently made her acting debut co-starring alongside folk troubadour Joe Purdy in the new feature film American Folk, which won Best of at the Cleveland International Film Festival and will release in the Autumn 2017. She has also scored and composed for films including the highly acclaimed Sundance Film Festival winner Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work (with Paul Brill) and the award-winning documentary Desert Runners. She also is the founder of two collaboration projects, Brooklyn indie band The Paper Raincoat, an iTunes Indie Spotlight featured in commercials for Google and Aquafina, and the UK-based harmony folk trio Applewood Road, whose debut album was named The Telegraph's Best Albums of 2016.
