Imagine a child that always sings at the dinner table. One who gets sent outside by a mother who can only hear “The Lonely Goatherder” so many times. A little girl that, having played a song on the piano with her fingers, tries it with her toes. This same child follows her family around the globe, from adventures in Australia, to climbing the Grand Canyon, to getting trapped in Mayan caves. Such an upbringing is sure to release a unique and fiery personality.

Adventure, discovery, and joy culminate in the music of Amber Epp. All at once alluring and uplifting, Amber shares her joy for life and excitement in the undiscovered in each performance. With heartstrings pulled by the freedom of jazz and the rhythm of Latin music, she unites her favourite styles in a delightful way.

A trip to New York City sparked the fire for jazz; now Amber leaves a blazing trail wherever she performs. Inspired by jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald, modern singers like Dianne Reeves, and new discoveries like Gretchen Parlato, Amber’s gift for music, improvising, and languages ignites every song.

The endless fields, the big sky, and the music - Joni Mitchell and Amber share these common elements of growing up in The Prairies. Enjoy a night of Joni Mitchell songs reimagined. Maybe a new beat, maybe a few extra chords, maybe a different instrument. Audiences will recognize these well-known songs and fall in love with them all over again as they're presented in a new light. Enjoy an entire concert of jazzy Joni Mitchell tunes in Winnipeg's newest live music space: The Club Room at the Fort Garry Hotel.
