Episode #35 "Home is where the Art is" featuring Amber Nadine

My guest this week is another awesome local musician, Amber Nadine. Pennsylvanian-born Amber Nadine began singing and songwriting in her teens and hasn't looked back. From piano ballads to upbeat acoustic guitar numbers, Amber presents her stories of life, love and faith with undeniable, evocative emotion in her voice. Amber’s desire is to honestly share her experiences through song with perspective and heart that leaves listeners feeling hopeful in difficult times. Together with her boyfriend, Dan, they host a monthly original songwriters’ round called “Home is where the art is”.

We talked about her journey in music, what it’s like to host a space for original artists, how she got into teaching guitar, and SO much more. She’s also releasing a NEW ALBUM in October, so we spend some time chatting about that as well. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
