Singer-songwriter, Amber Snider, was born and raised in the SF Bay Area to a musical family, started playing music when she was 4 and writing songs when she was 12. She primarily plays guitar, piano and harmonica but also enjoys playing the banjo & mandolin. Amber has released 5 CDs and has opened for Cat Powers, Clint Black and Gretchen Wilson. Her music has garnished comparisons to artists as varied as Ingrid Michaelson, Jewel, Rickie Lee Jones, Natalie Merchant, Sophie B. Hawkins, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, Melissa Etheridge & Grace Potter & The Nocturnals. She is influenced by traditional blues, sixties and seventies classic rock, as well as current indie music. An indie favorite, her music has playfully been coined "Amber-icana" after the genre "Americana".
Aaron Snider, lead guitarist, is a Napa Valley native with a unique style that fuses together rock, blues and Latin guitar. In addition to playing lead guitar for the band, Aaron also handles the set up of the equipment for live performance, rehearsals and recording.
