About
Fronted by singer-songwriter Amber Angelina, this Boston-area five-piece moves from tender intimacy to full-bodied catharsis, blending emotionally direct songwriting, lush harmonies, and a dynamic live sound.
An eclectic torch singer in the long tradition of the heartbreak singer, Amber has a voice capable of breathtaking fragility one moment and raw power the next. She writes songs about vulnerability, intimate power dynamics, the ache of desire, resilience after despair, and the darker corners of the human condition..
Music journalist Brett Milano writes:
“Amber Angelina has a voice that will steal your heart, tell your secrets and rock your world – and that’s in the first number alone.”
Amber says of her band, “we’ve all been doing this a long time, and they’re amazing musicians. Also, we’re all just genuinely great friends and we listen to each other… especially when someone wanders off… and it’s usually me.”
Her band of fellas features Mike Castellana on guitar, who has co-written several songs with Amber; Peter Moore on keys and vocals, an accomplished songwriter and the band’s secret weapon for background vocal arrangements; Jef Charland on upright bass and vocals; and Nate Logus on drums.
Rick Biskit Roth of WMBR writes:
“Amber Angelina is a gem – a diamond in the rough. When I hear her sing, I imagine what it must have felt like to see Janis Joplin or Linda Ronstadt in a small club.”
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Amber now calls Boston home. From the West Coast to the East, through dive bars, honky tonks, and cabarets, she has made music that has never fit neatly into one category. It’s personal, powerful, and sure to make you think: I bet there’s a story behind that one.
