About Me
Amber Nash is a 27 year old solo musician politely nudging her way through the ukulele and singer/songwriter scene. Previously a member of ukebucket, Amber's solo style highlights her honest, clever originals and covers from Johnny Cash to The Beatles to 80s pop. She brings a mellow, unique sound to any stage she happens to come across.
Growing up in small-town Indiana and listening to the old greats (Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Kenny Rogers, etc.) has led to an old country sound blended with a musical theatre background. Add a dash of awkwardness, and a voice that marries blues, jazz, country, and classical, and you've got, well, something unforgettable.
Amber currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio and has gigged around the city in venues such as Sidewinder Coffee & Tea, Mahogany's Coffeehouse & Bar, The Southgate House, Roh's Street Cafe, Everybody's Records, The Lyric, and Cincy Groove's first House Party.
Her sweet sound continues to catch the ear of music-lovers and musicians, and has lead to local radio appearances and feature of her music throughout the German independent film, Finding Frida. She is currently working on a new album with her band, Shiny and the Spoon, due out sometime this summer.
Keep checking back for information on the solo album, links to YouTube videos, new original songs, and show dates.
