Music News

Hello Friends,


I just wanted to let you know about a few upcoming shows on the calendar for next week. My calendar is included in this email. Our friends BOXX will be joining The Amber Snider Band on Friday at The Black Cat Bar & Grill in Penngrove. We hope to see you there!


Also, I am looking for more venues to play shows at. Do you have any suggestions?


Finally, at the risk of repeating myself....please vote for The Amber Snider Band so we can play Lillith Fair. That would be dreamy :)


1) One way is by logging into OurStage using Facebook Connect through the OurStage judging widget on

You can preview entire tracks and either download songs/Ringtones or order a physical cd (8 new tracks + 5 re-releases). This project is dear to my heart because I got to collaborate with some really great people! My parents, Steve & Diana Wallis (aka The Pine Dogz) & Jef Madnik to name a few!

Conscience

In my studies, I am learning about various ways of thinking. The question was posed to me "do all people have a conscience" and "where does a conscience come from?".

I think people are all born with a conscience and some people ignore their inner voice so much that they can no longer hear it. I have always heard friends and family advise me to "follow my gut" or "listen to your instincts". In the text I am reading, the author Vincent Ruggiero says, "conscience is the most important single guide to right and wrong an individual can have."

Of course, there have been many times that I simply chose not to listen. When that happens, I can usually feel it in the pit of my stomach. As children, we are so sensitive to love and pain and the world around us and we do not wish any harm on anyone. There is a feeling of distinct rightness and wrongness. It is very clear. Ruggiero tells us to "follow our conscience, but not blindly." It is important to examine our own conscience for "moral growth".

As we grow older, make mistakes and get battered through life, it sometimes becomes harder to see what is distinctly right or wrong. Many people cannot tell the difference anymore and simply rely on the government of others to create laws as a substitute or the media's sensationalism to dictate what is morally right or wrong. There is a disconnect between their own sense of right and wrong and what the world dictates. There becomes moral shades of gray as opposed to of black and white.

Amber Snider Solo Saturday Show in Dixon :)

Hello there, I will be headed into Dixon and playing at a wonderful new cafe/wine bar called Accardi's Italian Cafe & Wine Bar - 158 N. First Street Dixon, CA 95620


So come on out and celebrate the fact that winter is almost over and spring is almost here (ok not until March 20th, officially) but, you don't really need a reason to celebrate.


Eat, drink and be merry :)



Best wishes always,


Amber Snider

Happy New Year!

I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year and welcome 2010! It feels like such a milestone already. I am submitting to all of the fairs and festivals I can think of for this year and the band is ready. We had our first rehearsal in months last Sunday and we sounded as together as ever. It was nice to have a small break (though I kept playing solo shows here and there) we welcomed some changes during the last part of the year and in general needed a bit of band downtime.

I am pursuing a marketing degree as well as pursuing licensing deals for the over 100 songs I have been writing for the last 10 years. I am also releasing all my music digitally for now. It is a lot of work but I love it.

Last year I had the honor of meeting and performing with some wonderful and talented singer-songwriters. Grace Woods and Vanessa Verlee.

I hope to see you soon. Take care and many blessings for 2010!

"Super talented. Catch her while you can before a ticket to her show is 50 bucks." Rich Freedman, Vallejo Times-Herald

"We hear tastes of a New York musical village…and Merchant . The music breathes…A dichotomy exists….storyteller appeal …Her intimate treatment reveals a vocal maturity. Nonchalant Rickie Lee Jones' approach to loose & spontaneous performance. Well done and we look forward to more." earBuzz.com

"style is blues-based pop w/ rock edges that sometimes echoes the work of Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, & perhaps Melissa Etheridge. Meanwhile, the smoky, late-night "Chaotic Sanctity" suggests it's a song that Norah Jones could take a crack at. Estrada's own voice is an appealing instrument." Vol. XXIX - , Music Connection Magazine - CD Review

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/
