   About Amber Darland
Amber Darland is one of the most exciting up-and-coming singer songwriters of the Pacific Northwest. Audiences from festivals to coffee shops to concert halls are falling in love with her songs, voice and performance style. Her voice has been described as “powerful” and “rich” with the ability to turn heads on a busy Saturday at the Bellingham Farmer’s Market or to hush a boisterous crowd at the local bar. Darland’s intensely personal music has the passion reminiscent of Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams and Shawn Colvin and the soulfulness of k.d. lang, the Carpenters and Dar Williams. She is a master at making the simple, evocative. “Each song has heartfelt lyrics and when Amber sings, emotion pours out. The stories in the songs speak to all of us and her performance is so inclusive that the audience can’t help but feel important.” Her music is compelling because it’s both political and deeply personal – and by design, purposeful. In her performances, the listener becomes an integral part of the moment. Darland’s delivery of powerful, honest poetry with pure vocals, strong melodies, infectious rhythms and personal stories keep the audience engaged and experiencing a wave of emotions. It is not uncommon for her listeners to move from tears to laughter or from personal reflection to political action in response to her music. While the acoustic guitar and amazing vocals primarily drive her current performance, Darland is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and enjoys adding loops and other instrumentation such as the harmonica and trumpet to create an even more multi-dimensional experience.
