Nashville-based songstress Amber Ikeman delivers empowering, heart-melting folk/pop. Called “a storyteller who embraces emotional tales” (Jolene: The Country Music Blog), Amber leaves audiences “deeply moved…she tugs at your soul like not many artists can” (Analucia Lopezrevoredo, Moishe House San Francisco). Images from the deserts and mountains she’s hiked or driven through as a nomad give a living backdrop to her lyrics of resilience, self-discovery, body acceptance, mental health, and women’s issues. By turns gritty and inspired, peaceful and powerful, Amber’s award-winning songs invite fellow free spirits to explore life beyond convention and expectations. She has toured all over the U.S. and Canada, and her third album will be released in 2023.
