Comenzamos la semana con la bonita música que nos trae la joven cantante y compositora norteamericana Amber Rubarth, quien nos ofrece en cada una de sus canciones momentos ciertamente entrañables, mostrándonos una música intimista y muy dulce. Se dio a conocer al gran público en el año 2008 con su trabajo New Green Lines, por el que obtuvo un reconocimiento más que notable, gracias a sus magníficas composiciones, la cálida voz de Amber y una delicada instrumentación en donde el piano comparte el protagonismo con la guitarra o el violín. Entre los temas incluidos en ese trabajo destacaba [...]
Amber Rubarth, a singer/songwriter whose beautiful music is getting worldwide attention, just got back from a US tour with Joshua Radin and Gary Jules. We got a chance to catch up with her and learn about the tour, her life as a independent artist, and what inspired her to pick up a guitar for the first time at the age of 20 and pursue a career in music. IM: Hey Amber, welcome back from the tour! How was it? AR: The tour was AMAZING!!!! Truly fantastic. I was [...]
After seeing The Paper Raincoat perform last month I had the suspicion that I may have discovered my new favorite female vocalist. After seeing Amber Rubarth (of The Paper Raincoat ) perform a solo set last night at Club Passim, I was sure of it. There's an intangible there that is often overlooked on shows like "American Idol," a slight of vitality, a wink of charisma. Amber Rubarth has this where I see it lacking in all those hollow Idol hopefuls. [...]
It's been only a few short weeks since I've discovered the charming and whimsical music of The Paper Raincoat , an inventive duo consisting of Brooklyn artists Amber Rubarth and Alex Wong . Moments after their myspace page loaded in my browser, the catchy song "Sympathetic Vibrations" started filling my room with a unique sense of hope and curiosity. I found myself intrigued in a way that I haven't experience in a long time. It's really quite wonderful to discover a promising new act only to find that [...]

"i want to be great. i want to write great songs. i want to have a repertoire that can evoke emotion from a room and take them on a journey that stays with them years later, that they can lock that moment into their memory and bring it up when they want to feel something. i want to add to the world in a way that lasts, and i want to do it through music. i want to have songs that people listen to
Today's post is gonna be brief, I apologize, but sometimes the quick and fast route is the most effective. Here's some female singer-songwriters for ya. Rough Cut- Amber Rubarth [mp3] God, these lyrics. So young and so old at the same time. She's the Queen of Ladada's, something that I heavily support, and she's also in cahoots with The Paper Raincoat, previously mentioned on GFP. I hope to
About 2 weeks back, I featured a band by the name of The Paper Raincoat and their super awesome song 'Sympathetic Vibrations'. Amber Rubarth is from The Paper Raincoat who also has her own solo stuff going on too! And I love her work! She's very acoustic/soul/folk singer-songwriter which is fabulous. Her songs have this real-ness to it that would immediately draw you in. Her lyrics are absolutely wonderful; "... You are the page of the book that I keep to myself...". The songs just makes you feel warm, and it is just perfect for the occasional gloomy/rainy [...]
Procrastination is a word of mine when dealing to write couple lines about an artist i'm really fond of. This default proves to be a guarantee : i'm only writing about artists I love - I mean not only a single song ! And this is the case with Amber Rubarth. So, I won't postpone for a new year this short introduction. So using the copy/paste function is an helpful easy way ! Here we go : After 3 years of sculpting wood as an apprentice at a little shop in Carson City, Amber [...]
The Paper Raincoat is a project led by singer-pianist Amber Rubarth and multi-instrumental wizard Alex Wong, who accompanied Vienna Teng on her recent Mountain Stage performance . The two share vocal duties on their four-song Safe in the Sound EP while Wong plays guitars, percussion, glockenspiel, and synths. A backing band of musicians provide the duo a full-bodied orchestral sound. The songs reside in the same NYC fantasy world that centers on the fictional character Grace as she looks back on her [...]
Basically, in the interest of self-discipline, I have decided to do a weekly feature for this blog where I highlight a few tracks that are rocking my world a little bit ATM. Right now, there's no specified number or format or anything, but if I haven't done another entry of this by next Tuesday morning, I urge Marshall to yell at me, okay dude? In any case, on to the actual inaugural songs. The Ballad of Love and Hate by The Avett Brothers, from Emotionalism [2007, Ramseur] // [...]
