Sounds Like
As hard as Melissa Etheridge and Janis Joplin, as soft as Norah Jones, as powerful as Amy Lee, as real as Sheryl Crow, and as dramatically loud as Alanis Morissette. At least, that's what I've been told, all with a touch of me :D
Hey...I'm Amber, the one and only band member of CrazieGurl215, which I hope to change soon. I write many, many songs but can only record a limited number and with limited quality, at least for the time being.
Please forgive me for the current quality of recording; technical difficulties are being fixed and re-recorded.
I am a Colorado native, and am a Sophomore in college; I have been writing music for a very long time now =D
I grew up in Bailey, Colorado, the location of a heinous act of violence in September 2006. During that time, I lost a friend, Emily Keyes. A great singer and friend of mine, she is dear to my heart. I wrote a song for her called "Tears and Shambles," which I have several different versions of. At least one version of this song will be on my player at all times.
BUT I have an actual myspace if you want to check it out, just drop me a line or add me:

Thank you for your time and support!! Suggestions are always welcome **though I know my songs are a little empty with just me and my guitar lately**!!
Ello lovey! How are you doing? Have you written any new songs lately? I was just wondering cause I miss those "New song!!!" Bulletin posts. But I know your life's gotten really busy, so it's understandable if you haven't. I'm just missing you, and your lovely music =) I love you! ♥
Hi there! Things are going well. Lots of new clients in the last year. How are you? How was school? Are you out for the summer? Have you been singing much?
I just LOVE that song! Melissa Etheridge is so awesome! And you, as usual, are amazing! You did a great cover of one of my favorite songs by her. *Two thumbs up*
I always love any of the stuff you put up. It just seems like, no matter what it's about, I feel like I can relate to it in one way or another. I might be crazy, I dunno, but that's just how I feel about it. I love you mucho! You're amazing, as always! =D
You just keep getting better and better girl! I really love what you've done with Tears and Shambles. And what you added to "you'll hear the quiet angel sing" part, was a very nice touch. Kudos, I love it. And I love you!
