Amber Rubarth
"She has developed a unique gift of knocking down walls with songs so strong they sound like classics from another era." -ACOUSTIC GUITAR
"Part of the new old-soul generation." -HUFFINGTON POST
Amber Rubarth has toured extensively throughout the US, Europe and Japan including appearances at Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center, opening tours for many legendary artists including Emmylou Harris, Kenny Loggins, Marc Cohn, Richie Havens and Loudon Wainwright III.
Grand Prize Winner of NPR's Mountain Stage New Song Award, Rubarth has garnered attention for her insightful songwriting and unique musicality, attracting praise from The Huffington Post, BBC Radio and NPR. "She has developed a unique gift of knocking down walls with songs so strong they sound like classics from another era." - Acoustic Guitar Magazine. Her fifth album "A Common Case of Disappearing" was produced by Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Norah Jones) and debuted at No. 13 on the iTunes songwriter charts. A live recording from the legendary Sun Studio is airing nationwide on PBS.
At 21 years old, Amber quit her career as a chainsaw sculptor in Nevada in order to pursue a quiet passion for music. She taught herself guitar, began playing open mics and recording her songs, and soon began performing throughout the US and Europe. She received over 1.5 million listens on MySpace through word of mouth and quickly became one of their top indie artists.
Rubarth has begun composing for films, recently working with Paul Brill for the highly acclaimed Sundance Film Festival winner Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work. She also partnered with Alex Wong to create The Paper Raincoat, a Brooklyn band featured as iTunes Indie Spotlight chosen as Paste Magazine's Best of What's Next.

Alex Wong
“The name Alex Wong may not necessarily be one that’s immediately recognizable, but just take a look at his impressive résumé and it quickly becomes apparent that this is an artist who has already made a tremendous impact on the indie music scene in his varied career. Moving between the roles of singer-songwriter, producer, engineer, band member and all-around mentor, Wong has run the gamut and done so with aplomb and dexterity. His projects carry a subtle signature that is engaging, modern-with-heart and wholly engaging. His approachable skill pushes his collaborators to explore new territories and ways of expression, which ultimately benefits the project and creates sounds and spaces that reveal new strengths.” -Glide Magazine
Over the last few years, Wong has earned a reputation as a sought-after creative force, producing records for artists such as Delta Rae (Warner Music), Ari Hest (Downtown/Mercer St), Morgan Karr (Hollywood), Melissa Ferrick (Mpress), and Vienna Teng (Rounder/Universal). He garnered a LATIN GRAMMY nomination for his work on Miguel Bosé’s album “Papitwo.”
In 2012 he stepped into his own as a solo artist with his full-length release A City On A Lake.

His songs have been featured in numerous film and television projects such as The Last Song (Disney/Touchstone), One Tree Hill, and The Lincoln Lawyer (Lion’s Gate) and commercials for Google and Aquafina. Alex is currently recording his next solo album, composing a musical, and writing a cookbook in Nashville Tennessee.
