ABOUT:
Amber Rubarth is a singer-songwriter renowned for her raw, soulful voice and poetic songwriting. Former chainsaw sculptor turned self-taught multi-instrumentalist, she has toured her original music extensively across North America, Europe, Japan, and South Africa, performing at esteemed venues such as Carnegie Hall and Glastonbury Festival, and opening for legendary artists including Emmylou Harris, Richie Havens, and Dr. Ralph Stanley. In 2018 Rubarth made her acting debut starring in the feature film “American Folk,” receiving critical acclaim with the Hollywood Reporter calling it “a heartfelt homage to American folk music," and Rolling Stone praising the first single as “Enchanting… two wondrous new voices." Her ninth full length album, Cover Crop, is a meditation on our interconnectivity with nature through 15 reimagined songs, self-produced at her cottage in the woods of the Hudson Valley, New York.
Jaimee Harris turned 30 during the pandemic. It’s a milestone that is a rite of passage even during normal times. But for this Texas-born singer-songwriter, it came in the midst of one of the strangest and most tumultuous periods in American history. When the world stopped during lockdown, Harris, like many others, found herself gazing back into the past, ruminating on the nature of her hometown and family origins, and reckoning with their imprint on her. The term ‘nostalgia’ derives from the Greek words nostos (return) and algos (pain), and if Harris’s Boomerang Town can be regarded as a nostalgic album, it is only nostalgic in the sense that the longing for home is a desire to return to the past and heal old wounds.
“I’m at an age where I’m wrestling with trying to understand the nature of my family,” Harris says. “There’s been suicide, suicide ideation, and there’s certainly been addiction all through my family. My dad’s father died of suicide when he was 25 and I was 5. I couldn’t imagine not having my dad right now.”
