About Amber Rubarth

This week’s Featured Artist from our Wake Up Your Ears sampler is Amber Rubarth.  She has become a fixture in New York’s indie scene, named #1 Best of NYC Songwriter by Deli Magazine last year and grand prize winner of NPR’s Mountain Stage New Song Contest.  Over the past 7 years Amber has toured Europe, Japan and the US, including recent appearances at Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center Atrium.  She is currently composing the score for the upcoming documentary Desert.  Her songs have attracted enthusiastic praise from NPR All Songs Considered, The Huffington Post, BBC Radio, Acoustic Guitar Magazine, and a Sun Studio Session airing nation-wide on PBS.  She has shared the stage with many artists including Loudon Wainwright III, Jason Mraz, Roger McGuinn (The Byrds), Colin Hay, Martin Sexton and Lisa Loeb.  Rubarth now composes for films as well, most recently writing music with Paul Brill for the highly acclaimed Sundance Film Festival winner Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work.

Featured Track on Wake Up Your Ears

Chances are you haven’t heard a recording where the singer’s voice wasn’t dynamically compressed, but Ms. Rubarth’s voice is 100% au naturel on “Good Mystery.” Her guitar and the accompanying violin, cello and percussion were also unencumbered by any form of processing using the Chesky Records Binaural+ recording technique, fit for both speakers and headphones.  You’ll fall in love with Rubarth’s genuine, unique voice and musical style.

Check out our video of her performance at the NY Audio Show 2013 here.
