Amber Russell was born in Florida, raised in northern Indiana. Started out as a folk/blues/soul singer/songwriter. Once she was introduced to fingerstyle acoustic music, everything became clear. It was that something she was looking for her whole life, but didn't realize it until it was presented. She spent the next few years learning and mastering fingerstyle guitar. Studying compositions by the great Andy Mckee and Trace Bundy. Participating in the Canadian guitar festival and being the first female competitor, completed Fingerstyle Guitar Percussive Bootcamp ran by world famous Austrian guitarist Thomas Leeb. In 2018 conducted her first cross-country North American Tour from March-October. From California, to New York, as North as Canada and as south as Florida. Amber continues to learn and play an active roll in the fingerstyle community
Tae & The Neighborly, a Wisconsin based Soul-pop R&B group, found themselves playing music together in a very unconventional way.
They were all neighbors, each one living alone on one floor of a five-story flat. Cake baking is a shared passion of the five member group, but in the sugar shortages early in the 2020 pandemic, they found themselves so continually knocking on each other's doors asking for a single cup of sugar that a group decision was made to all move in together and share cake-baking resources. And since everyone knows all good rhythms begin in the kitchen, it wasn’t before long that the group began to write and perform together across the nation.
Critics hail the group as “having more kick than a bagged-up mule” (Rotary Times) and their live show “...going down smoother than a can of [beans] warmed on the campfire” (Cowboy Gazette). All in all, if you are looking for a dense show that will give you more inspiration fuel for self lovin’, world changin’, and consideration havin’ meet them where the music is made to be shared.
Raised in the outskirts of Oregon City, Erin Adkisson began singing in church and howling with wolves at night. Homeschooled until college, studying theatre and music. Now a vocalist in several Portland bands, including The Druthers, since 2008. Erin is a mainstay harmony artist in the music scene. She now leads a new four-piece heavy folk band with Mathew Peluso, Amanda Breese and Casey Tuck.
Genuine and gripping, sensual and powerful. Erin has the extraordinary ability of turning into a completely unique instrument. Exploring healing, and religious trauma, with a whisper to wail, Adkisson lays herself bare.
