Amber Rubarth has toured the world many times over, solo across South Africa, Europe, Japan, and throughout North America and made her acting debut in the feature film American Folk, winning numerous festival awards and receiving high praise, with the Hollywood Reporter calling it "Superb... A heartfelt homage to American folk music.”

Amber left home at 17 to become a chainsaw sculptor in Nevada, happily covered in sawdust for four years while waitressing at night. At 21, she traded in her chainsaw for a guitar and began writing songs, winning Grand Prize in NPR's Mountain Stage New Song contest and recording an album produced by Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Norah Jones). She has toured everywhere from a Texas theme park opening for a flea circus, to a sold-out Carnegie Hall and Glastonbury Music Festival, opening for musicians such as Emmylou Harris, Richie Havens, and Dr. Ralph Stanley. She continues to reinvent herself, most recently with her self-recorded 8th album Cover Crop, weaving together 15 reinterpreted songs in a meditation on our interconnectivity with nature.

After many years of solo touring, Amber has composed for numerous films including Sundance festival winner Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, performed an original arrangement for BBC Sisters in Country, and co-produced a double album for the documentary Fantastic Fungi.  She is cofounder of indie-band The Paper Raincoat and folk trio Applewood Road, and co-produces the Rancho La Puerta Artist Retreat & Folk Festival in Mexico.

"In her unassuming yet beguiling way, Amber Rubarth draws you into a world where wonder and high-minded concepts weave into a poetic tapestry with her “unique gift of knocking down walls with songs so strong they sound like classics.”
