WOW WOw WOW woot woot yeaH.
I got to open for Colin Hay (of Men at Work) last Thursday at my favorite venue, Tupelo Music Hall, in New Hampshire. It was glorious and magical and SOLD OUT and I sold out of every last CD I had (!!). Colin was magnificent.
AND last weekend we got to open for Vienna Teng's first 3 CD Release shows with my band The Paper Raincoat, SOLD OUT at Somerville Theater (where U2 just played last month!) and Le Poisson Rouge, plus we played the beautiful Keswick Theatre! Check out Vienna's new record, it's beautiful (and produced by my Paper Raincoat partner in crime, Alex Wong). We get to do more openings for her along the west coast too, yay!
I love life. I feel so lucky. I am trying now to start doing things a little differently, more time for writing, living, and making a positive impact on the world at large. Being more pro-active in life. If you have ideas on how, send 'em my way!
bum bum bum... announcing the STREET TEAM!!!
Starting Wednesday I'm doing a whole bunch of shows that last for the next 5 weeks... including my Biggest Show in NYC so far (with circus acts!!) at DROM on Friday the 17th, plus a great one at Toad in Boston, the Culture Shock Festival at SUNY Purchase with The Paper Raincoat, and a bunch of west coast dates! I would love to see you.
So in celebration, we are launching the new street team (yayyy!!!) and I would love if you want to get involved. I am very lucky to have someone taking the reigns on captaining the team (thank you Amanda!), so we’ll have all kinds of ways available to you to help promote the shows, spread the word, and in appreciation we’ll be able to give you tickets, CDs, and more as our thank you. Yay yay yayyy!!! Sign up for the STREET TEAM by sending an email here streetteam@amberrubarth.com and we’ll give you all the details on how you can get involved.
And most importantly, THANK YOU! ie. merci beaucoup, duomo arigato gozaimasu, gracias, etc. I could not do this without you, and I’m glad now we have a proper way of thanking you for helping out with all of this!!
Life is good. I am writing a lot. Can’t wait to share some new songs with you. Even wrote a country tune the other day called "Wish We'd Gotten Drunk." Wow. Looking this week for some great duets, and still working on compiling songs for my cover song project when I have spare time. DO YOU KNOW ANY GREAT DUETS you can recommend I check out?
We also just announced THE VESPA EXPERIMENT which is going to be crazy and fun and help the environment and did I mention crazy and fun? It’s with two of my favoritest favorites, Jason Reeves and Brendan James. Oh boy oh boy. Up the California coast on (you guessed it).... Vespas! Camping at night, a whole bunch of traditional and non-traditional venues including campgrounds and beaches. If you have ideas for where else we can play, email info@amberrubarth.com and we’ll do our best to include them. We’ll be filming the whole thing too, and broadcasting daily webisodes so you can watch the whole thing from home!&nb! sp; I am getting my motorcycle license next week. No, seriously. Brought to you by Greenpeace and Vespa - we're going to do our part to stop Global Warming. More info here, more to be announced soon: http://MySpace.com/TheVespaExperiment. It's our first time doing this type of tour and we could really use your support to make it great. If you'd like to help us please write to vespaexperiment@gmail.com They'll hook you up with promo stuff and tickets to shows and cd's and more!
