Amber Rubarth seems like the kind of singer you would hear on stage at a coffee shop.  Up on a small platform with the spotlight on her, and watching, appreciating java drinkers snapping along.

Her new album, New Green Lines, debuts June 10.  The songs on the album range from somewhat country-like to soul.  Even in her slower tunes, there is a pep in her voice that makes your heart skip along. 

A self-taught guitarist and pianist, the 26-year-old’s talents don’t stop at her musical abilities.  Her lyrics won her first place at the 2006 International Songwriting Competition.  In addition to this award she was named the “Best New Artist” by WXPN and was included in Music Connection’s “Hot 100 Artists” this year.

So whether your getting a tan by the pool, or sipping a frappucino with friends, Amber’s music is a nice background to your day.
