What people are saying...

"Amber Norgaard is an original and can be marketed to the target audience," says Jake Hooker, President of a music production, marketing and branding company, Edge Management, and also writer of one of rock's greatest hits ever, "I Love Rock and Roll." "Amber was very strong overall, focused with good songs and style."

"You can forget any preconceptions when it comes to local singer/songwriter Amber Norgaard. She grew up on a farm, but there's nothing Green Acres-corny about her. She's a registered nurse, but these days the only shot she's likely to give you is one to your heart as you listen to her eloquent lyrics. With her tousled blond locks, an acoustic guitar in hand, the petite powerhouse is one part poet, one part social crusader. And she's funny, too."
       --Tucson Lifestyle Magazine (June '07 Publication)

"A fabulous performance from powerful singer-songwriter Amber Norgaard. We highly recommend Amber if you ever get the chance to hear her either solo or with her full band."
       --Eugene House Concerts (May '07)

"Though Amber Norgaard's recent CD is called RISING, the truth is that her star has been ascending for quite a while. Solo, or with her band, she has proved to be a singer/ songwriter to be reckoned with. Touchstones for her sound include Indigo Girls, Dar Williams and Carole King, but she certainly isn't an imitation of anyone. Her guitar playing rings with authority,and her voice is strong and confident, pretty but never sappy..."

"Every so often a CD comes along that grabs you by the collar and demands: Listen to me! Amber Norgaard's 'Rising' is that CD...Amber's is the 21st century's survival anthem."
       -- Alice Loweecey, BuddyHollywood.com

"Norgaard played before a crowd that saw a pro; someone taking a risk and living their dream. They showed their support with their enthusiasm and their numbers."
       -- Paul Basile, The Delta Discovery

"To say Amber Norgaard puts her heart and soul into her music might be a bit of an understatement."
       -- Randy M. Cauthron, The Daily Reporter

"Girl Pop in all its glory. The CD was chocked full of introspective lyrics..."
       -- Annette Warner, GoGirls Music

"Her lyrics don't paint a picture they grab your arm."
       -- Iowa Entertainer

"The love child of Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant and Melissa Etheridge."
       -- Scot, Guest at Coyote Moon Health Resort & Spa, Tucson, AZ

"Great music! Great show! Amber left the 200 plus sell-out crowd calling for more."
       -- David Horesh, Bethel Friends of the Library, Bethel, AK

"This talented artist recently appeared on the main stage at the Tucson Street Fair and last month at Bentley's... The stories she tells through her lyrics and keyboards will move you to laughter and melancholy. Truly a great songwriter and performer."
       -- Bentley's House of Coffee and Tea, Tucson, AZ

"Amber wowed the crowds at the Just Desserts concert Saturday night..."
       -- Jon Grover, The Tundra Drums, Alaska
