ambeR Rubarth and Adam Levy are doing a residency at 55 Bar, performing there at 7pm every Wednesday in August. Of their four appearances, the only one that we could attend was last night, and we are both very glad we got to see them (the rest of you still have two more shots to [...]
Another night, another show at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2, same old, same old. This night featured a totally different type of music, but was similar in that we love this group of performers as did the rest of the crowd. The co-billed show was ambeR Rubarth (we love her solo, with a band, and [...]

Highline Ballroom is the biggest stage and room [...]

They also regularly guest star at local shows with other indie rising stars. The Paper Raincoat is their collaboration project, an ingenious concept, telling a long-running story (a [...]
I am being respectful, and writing ambeR Rubarth the way she capitalizes it herself, so no, I didn’t make a mistake. She is soon to release a new CD, Good Mystery, and last night had a CD Release party show at Joe’s Pub in NYC, which we attended. You can hear some of the songs [...]
