Hot off the back of winning FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR at the recent Golden Guitar awards in Tamworth, Amber also was inducted into the Galaxy of Stars at the Festival, so what better time to release the 5th single ‘Rise’ from her acclaimed 7th studio album ‘Living For the Highlights’.

‘Rise’ is a blues-tinged song reminding us that we all have good and bad days, but with the help of friends and loved ones you can ‘Rise’ up and overcome whatever obstacles are in your way, “when you can find the rain in rainbows, you can change your mind, and rise”! The title and lyrics epitomise both Amber and Casey’s resilience and perseverance in their respective careers and personal lives, with both in the most amazing space of their lives.
Casey Donovan is currently one of the most in demand female artists in the country and whilst Amber & Casey have known each other for many years, they’re also management stable mates. In fact, a young Casey used to busk at the Tamworth Country Music Festival before her Idol days, so this duet, makes absolute sense in so many ways.
“Rise is a powerhouse song vocally, and the inspiring lyric of this song was best shared with two voices, so I couldn’t have dreamed up anyone better to sing with than the amazing Casey Donovan. She’s an incredible singer, artist and person, and I’m just so proud of the musical moment we’ve achieved together with ‘Rise’”

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
