Shows Tonight (Saturday) and Wednesday!

Hello there! I am blessed to have so many friends and so many of them are talented.



Tonight, Saturday, Jef Madnik and his band "BOXX" has asked me to perform with their super rockin' band at Downtown Joe's from 9:30 to 12:30a



Though it starts off acoustically with special guest performers (myself included), this promises to be a high energy show!!!!



On Wednesday: Singer-songwriter, Brooke Aved, all the way from Austin, TX and doing only ONE show at Downtown Joe's WITH ME while she's here! Brookie and I are sharing the stage once again after seemlingly forever. You must catch this talented girl she has been nicknamed "songbird" for a reason :)(Special thanks to Robert at Joe's and Singer-Songwriter Brian Cline for making this possible)



Finally, I wanted to share a special experience I had recently with the Relay For Life orginazion. I am sure you have heard about the wonderful work they do for people with cancer and their families. A few weeks ago I had the honor of singing at their Luminary ceremony in Vallejo. Here is the very touching video that came from that the Vallejo Times Herald put together. http://extras.timesheraldonline.com/galleries/2009/080309_relay/





Best Wishes and be well!

Along Came A Snider

An entertainer's name is vital when it comes to marketing, public relations and finding work. Amber Estrada? It worked well for the Vallejo guitarist, song writer and vocalist.



Amber Snider? Well, she's had it since her May 2 marriage to Aaron Snider. It's been an adjustment, but so far, so good, the singer said.



"After years of using my maiden name, it is a little like being in the witness protection program," she said. "But I like sharing a name with the man I love. I am just glad the man I love didn't have the last name 'Bamber.'"



Yes, "Amber Bamber" might have been hard to handle. At the end of the day -- rather, the concert -- it's about the music. And Snider brings her acoustic guitar to the Benicia Historical Museum on July 16 in the third and final "Mirth & Music at the Museum;" Comic Rocky LaPorte headlines the 8 p.m. show.



For Snider, a former employee at the Vallejo Convention and Visitors Bureau, it's a chance to work some of her tried-and-true tunes and some new ones. She's figured she's written 150 songs -- basically enough for about 10 new CDs.



"But not all are good enough to record or play at shows," she said. "I also have many snippets that are needing to be completed."



The challenge is her band's undertaking "the large task of recording my catalogue with me," said Snider, who performs solo in Benicia. "It is difficult but it's worth it. Songs that we have been playing live for years, but have no real recording that we are proud of to give to people."



Snider said her songs "are like my children and I am trying not to bring any more of them into this world until I can properly feed and clothe the first ones. But, sometimes, they just create themselves. Those are most always the best ones."



It helps when one of her band mates happens to be her new husband.



"We've been making music together for six years," Snider said.



The band's bass player, Dave Youdell, is Aaron Snider's best friend since childhood and was best man at the wedding. Ram Hatley is the drummer.



"Just like a family, there's a lot of give and take," Amber said. "Everyone works hard. Everyone has their good days and bad days. And everyone has something to express that is uniquely their own. "



Who knows, a winning slot machine could be in her future. Hey, that's how much of the wedding was paid for. Amber hit a jackpot at Rolling Hills Casino, winning almost $5,000 on a progressive penny machine.



"Much of that money helped pay for our dream wedding and reception," she said. "Though it rained on our 'planned' wedding, we ended up having 120 people circled around us in my parents' living room like a big hug."

The artist formerly known as Amber Estrada shows and news :)

Hello friends!

A lot has happened since my last email to you. After six years of making beautiful music together on and off stage, guitarist Aaron Snider and I were officially married on May 2nd. It was a beautiful wedding near Redding that started out as an outdoor wedding but the rain had other plans for us. We ended up having 120 of our close friends and family surrounding us in my parent's living room like a big hug. It couldn't have been any better!





Well, I have legally taken the name Amber Snider and I will not be using the name Amber Estrada any more. Nor will I be using the name "Amber Lynn" as I stated in my previous email (though it actually is my name and I like it). A few people emailed me and informed me of an adult film star with that very same name. I do not want there to be ANY confusion especially when my little nieces and nephews google their favorite auntie's name :) Eeeeeeeeeeek!


Quoted by Juliet from Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet:
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

Translation: It's all about the music anyway.....

Alas, our new recordings will be released under "Mom's Chicken Pot Pie" which is our new band name. We are working hard on recording the songs we have been playing at our shows.

Speaking of shows, please check out my show calendar below.

This Friday, July 3, 5-8pm at Silo's Music Bar please join me in Downtown Napa for a "Solo at Silo's" show and say hi. Silo's is a great new music/wine bar and the owners are really amazing people! $5 cover.


Thursday, July 16, 8 p.m. at the Benicia Historical Museum
Amber Snider solo performance opening for comedian Rocky LaPorte
Rocky was named “Best Male Comedian of the Year” at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival in 2002. He’s been a guest on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” and did a pilot, “The Rocky LaPorte Show.” He also appeared in Tim Allen’s “The Shaggy Dog.”
LaPorte also joined Drew Carey in 2006 in entertaining the troops in Iraq.

Friday, July 17, 6:30-7p Napa City Nights w/Mom's Chicken Pot Pie. Come watch the full band rock at the North Bay's Premier outdoor ampitheatre. Opening for Caution - Power Trio / Classic Rock and C4Inc - Rock and Roll

Saturday, July 18th, 4-7pm - Mom's Chicken Pot Pie - Glen Cover Marina 100 year anniversary party. More details TBA

Much Love,

Mrs. Amber Snider

Best of the Bay video plus show tonight!

Hi $first_name,

Aren't you glad it's springtime? I know I am! The veggies in our garden are amazing :) There is so much going on and I just want to share with you. Earlier this year, KRON TV show "Best of the Bay" featured Downtown Joe's as it's Best Brewery of the Bay. I am at the lucky 13:00 min mark (you can use your playback slider to skip around as it is 30mins long but good all the way through). http://bestofthebaytv.com/view/553/Napa-Valley-Episode

Also, my freshly named 100% Organic band named "Mom's Chicken Pot Pie" will be joining me tonight at Downtown Joe's from 8:30-11p and you we hope to see all you spring chickens there!

Featuring: Aaron Snider, Guitar

Dave Youdell, Bass

Ram Hatley, Drums

Upcoming Shows: Friday, April 24th @ Downtown Joe's (please mark your busy schedules)

I have been hard at work in the studio working with producer/engineer, Jef Madnik of "Off the Porch Studios". Contact him for all of your music recording needs...

The countdown continues until me and the Mr. are married on May 2nd. We are looking forward to our honeymoon in Hawaii and can hear the ocean already :)

From now on I will be using Amber Lynn as my musical identity (it is my name afterall) just please don't be surprised when you get an email from Amber Lynn Music.

Thank you so much for your continued love and support!
