About Me

"(Amber) Farris sounds like Janis Joplin, Loretta Lynn and k.d. lang all singing out of the same throat—full of verve and volume and country-rock splendor. The rest of the band, meantime, provided a perfect bed of tight Skynyrd-esque tunes, speckled with Ponder's classic fills and chugging chords and anchored by Nate Wedan's (drums) and Adam Carter's (bass) rhythm section, as primal as a Rebel Yell. This is the music that was pouring out of a Camaro's windows just before Reagan took office. This is the music that made the cover of Rolling Stone when it was still relevant. This is music with a history, perfectly rendered."

"Saturday night concluded with what I could only describe as an explosive set from Somebody's Darling. You may have read the Dallas Observer article and wondered if former editor Jonanna Widner got it right. She absolutely did. This time you can believe the hype. Lead singer Amber Farris gave such a passionate performance that if it had been any more intense, I would have thought Janis Joplin had been resurrected from the grave. She sang to a packed house that was energetic and ready to dance to such catchy tunes as "Give Me Time" and her cover of Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee". If Amber's vocals don't move you, check your pulse to see if you're alive."

"I have a feeling that 2008 is gonna be a big year for Somebody’s Darling. They seem to have come out of nowhere and have suddenly exploded onto the scene. Lead singer Amber Farris knows how to do two things real well: work a crowd and belt out tunes. Her soulful take on Southern rock style music will leave you wanting more, so check them out while you can still see them as a venue as small as City Tavern."
