Workshop: Accessing Your Deeper Creativity
Join Amber Rubarth in this stimulating workshop using songwriting and improv techniques to access your creative being!
In her unassuming yet beguiling way, Amber Rubarth draws you into a world where wonder and high-minded concepts weave into a poetic tapestry, a world where space and time can come screeching to a halt with “songs so strong they sound like classics” (Acoustic Guitar). She has toured from South Africa to Japan, all across Europe and even Carnegie Hall, sharing stages with such greats as Emmylou Harris, Richie Havens, Dr. Ralph Stanley, Kenny Loggins and Jason Mraz, and is Grand Prize winner of NPR Mountain Stage song contest.
Rubarth’s eighth album ‘Wildflowers in the Graveyard’ explores life, death and renewal in nature and relationships. All songs are self-penned and recorded to 2″ tape with Matt Andrews (Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings) in Nashville. She’s currently finishing her newest album, set to release in 2022.
Rubarth made her acting debut starring in the feature film ‘American Folk’ alongside songwriter Joe Purdy. The film won various festivals and was released in theaters in 2019, with a soundtrack also featuring John Prine, Jerry Garcia & David Grisman. Rubarth has scored and composed for many films including Sundance Festival winner ‘Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work’ (with Paul Brill) and the award-winning documentary ‘Desert Runners.’ She co-produced ‘Fantastic Fungi: Reimagine,’ a double album inspired by the documentary and mycelial kingdom. Rubarth is co-founder of The Paper Raincoat, a Brooklyn-based iTunes Indie Artist Spotlight band featured in Disney’s The Last Song, One Tree Hill, and Paste Magazine, who said “We think the world might be a little better if everyone heard this record.” In 2016 she recorded a live-to-tape single microphone album with her folk trio ‘Applewood Road’ which the London Sunday Times gave 5 stars, calling it “a flawless set that has to be the most haunting release of the past year,” followed by performances at Glastonbury Music Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, a UK tour supporting Mary Chapin Carpenter, and her original arrangement and performance featured in the ‘BBC Sisters in Country’ documentary with Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.
