Fueled by a pop-rock sensibility, Abbie Barrett’s songwriting is unique and unpredictable—but always something you can sing along to. Her music has been featured in Magnet, American Songwriter, the Boston Herald, Vanyaland, and on CMT’s Cool Album Cuts. In 2015 she received a Boston Music Award for Best Singer-Songwriter. Her band plays regularly in the New England area and has opened for notable acts including the B-52s, Juliana Hatfield, The Motels, Will Dailey, and Rhett Miller.

With a powerhouse voice that cuts through any dark, smoky bar like a beam of light, Amber Angelina is an eclectic torch singer who has been likened to everyone from Adele and Kate Bush to Neko Case and Linda Ronstadt. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Angelina has become a treasured staple in New England, where she and her first-rate band deliver soulful, stop-you-dead-in-your-tracks songs that grapple with embracing vulnerabilities, making peace with our mistakes, and finding strength in a weary world. You can see Amber Angelina perform regularly in Cambridge at her bimonthly residency at the Plough and Stars.
