Capitol Record’s Amber Dotson, who hails from Garland, Texas, is known for her powerhouse vocals that can wrap around any lyric and definitely make them her own. Dotson has a timeless country sound that follows in the footsteps of such country legends as Tammy Wynette, Reba McEntire, or Patty Loveless. However, Dotson has her own soulful country style that breathes new life into country’s standard anthems that spotlight a woman’s take on love, romance, and life’s daily struggles. Dotson’s music is unfussy and gimmick-free and goes straight to the lyrical content because of the strength of her smoky vocals. In other words, she’s the real deal.
Some of the highlights thus far in Amber's career include earning the opening slot on the George Strait tour, a debut appearance on the Grand Ole Opry, and her first very successful appearance at the CMA Music Festival. Amber is solidly making her mark on the Nashville music scene.
The University Press from Lamar University sums it up best when they glowed about Amber’s performance on the Strait tour, “Many may consider the Garland native to be ‘just another pretty girl singer,’ but she demonstrated quite well that she has something many of those pretty girl singers don’t have – a voice.”
Amber on touring with George Strait:
“I am such a fan. Touring with "The Man" was unbelievable. I got to unwrap this box of dreams every night. It would have been enough for me getting to cut my teeth on sold out arenas every night, but I also got to be on tour with THE ONE ARTIST that I would have chosen to go with if I had my choice. I won't ever forget the feeling I had getting to experience what I did with all those great folks. It gave me an awful big goal to kick through, but I'm not gonna stop until I get that high again.”
Amber on her Grand Ole Opry Debut:
“That was an experience. My publicist picked me up so we would be sure to arrive on time to rehearse, but on the way there, we got pulled over by the cops, then she passed the exit, just to discover, when we were almost there, that I'd forgotten my stage clothes! Thankfully, my neighbor had a key to my house and rescued me by bringing my stuff to me. I thought, surely that's all that'll happen. I walked out, and sang my first song, “I Ain't Your Mama,” with shaky knees from looking down at “The Circle.” I told the audience I wanted to preserve this moment for my Mom and Dad since they couldn't be there, and proceeded to pull my camera out of my back pocket and take this great shot of the audience and me. Very Cool. I'll never forget that night.”
Amber on winning her first CMA Award .... for bass fishing!
“That was soooo cool getting to fish with BASSMASTER Pro, Paul Elias. I've grown up fishing with my Dad, so I feel very comfortable with a rod and reel in my hand. It rained all day long, but I didn't care. I held that dang trophy over my head like they do at the Pro BASSMASTERS Tournaments. I was beside myself giddy. Needless to say, my Dad is very proud. As for the Award, it's resides on the mantle.”
