Okay. I’ve been quiet all week. But it’s been a good week! Currently hanging in the Delta lounge at BNA waiting for my flight to NYC — where I get to sing BGVs for a super rad band called North Beach Gritty. Sometimes the musician hustle life is full of fun adventures — and this is definitely one of those times! #indiemusic #musicianstr #musicstr #travelstr #thathustlelifethough

Today was our last day with Lane. This girl is just the sweetest, bestest pup ever. We spoiled the crap outta her, took her on adventures, and gave her all the love she could ever want. I’m so glad I still get to see this girl after having fostered her over the summer. The most rewarding part of fostering is seeing these pups happy and healthy in their forever homes. It’s an added bonus to get to spend time with them after they’ve been adopted! Lane is truly a special girl. #pupstr #pupsofnostr #formerfoster #fosterpup

I had a BLAST chatting with Sarah. She’s such a gem! Take a listen to our chat here: nostr:note13xsenup9jn08fqquy6pusyzf5skfk4a407nuqmaf0rew2sxh6cvqw2trlv

I hope all of you US folks had a Thanksgiving as good as Lane here did. (She got a little turkey and some special carrots smothered in pumpkin). Second time I’ve cooked a bird like this. There really is no better way!

How does anyone not fall immediately in love with this face? 🥹🥹🥹

The last post didn’t let me post this picture of Lane… but here she is!! The sweetest, cutest, happiest girl! So happy to have her here this week. #puppylove #pupstr #fosterdog #dogsofnostr

I started fostering dogs earlier this year. One of those dogs, Lane, went to an amazing family who lives super close to me. I get to dog sit her this week and I’m loving it (even being sick)!! She’s the SWEETEST girl EVER!

Time for a little photo dump! The run of shows with my friend Lauren was a success!!! We met lots of cool people, had easy travel, had the cutest little road dog with us, and I got to see South Carolina for the first time. That means I’ve been to 45 out of the 50 states, AND Puerto Rico. Crazy! Anyone been to all 50? The only downside from the weekend is that I came down with a nasty little bug. But I’ll be back to normal before you know it. (Although, I could definitely use a good soup nostr:npub1n0pdxnwa4q7eg2slm5m2wjrln2hvwsxmyn48juedjr3c85va99yqc5pfp6 😂😂). Anyway, good times were had!

It’s always fun to see your name on a marquee. It’s even more fun when it’s with friends at a super cool venue like Pure Life House Of Music, in LaGrange, GA. If you’re a fan of live music, and you find yourself just outside of Atlanta, this is the place to go! Great live music lives here. I had a BLAST with Lauren. One more show to go tonight, in Greenville, NC. #indiemusicstr #singerstr #musicstr #livemusic #singersongwriter #music

We’ve got live music up in here! https://hivetalk.org/join/Amber_and_Lauren_Live Live Now in #HiveTalk

Ahhh finally a little cynicism… I once rented and EV not realizing what I was doing. It was half charged when I got it, and quickly died on my one hour drive from Detroit to Toledo. Because of course it takes more energy if you plug in your phone to use the map, and if you drive above 55mph. Then I had to scramble to figure out how/where to charge the damn thing. Thought plugging it in at the hotel for 24 hours would be enough. It was absolutely not. Then had one of the most stressful drives back to the airport (which I barely made it to). Never again, I said. I will never rent an EV again. These are NOT the right cars for long road trips by any stretch of the imagination. Why am I telling you this? Because it turns out we had to rent a car at the last minute for this weekend’s run of shows. Found a great deal on what I thought was an SUV, and guess what kind of car it was? A freaking EV. Nope. Had to pay $30 more for a gas car, but if Michigan and Ohio aren’t well equipped to handle EVs, then the southern US DEFINITELY ain’t! I’m a fan of a good hybrid. But I do not like straight up EVs. I’ve road tripped way too much in my life to have to hunt down a charging station and spend an hour there charging (plus the money) for maybe 150 miles of drive time. End rant.

TOMORROW is the first day of a three day show run. Anyone want to join me on nostr:npub1z0lcg9p2v5nzg5fycxq0k56ze6snp42clmrafzqpn5w6u74v5x9q708ldk to test out a live stream show this weekend? It may even be tomorrow.

I don’t know what’s more exciting, getting to hit the road this weekend with my friend Lauren Anderson for some shows, or knowing I get to pet sit this precious girl all next week (she was one of my foster pups earlier this year):
