The New Album

The songs are original and supported by artists such as Gurf Morlix, Ray Bonneville, and Tim O’Brien. This concert will help to fund the production and release of the album.
The Flannels
Amber buys second hand flannel and wool shirts at thrift stores and garage sales and has each one embroidered with a phrase from one of her original songs. She has over 400 shirts in stock, in all shapes and sizes from infants to 3X, and will have them available at the house concert.
