Amber Rubarth plays intimate set at Maytan

Amber Rubarth in Reno

Rubarth said she planned to bookend her set with her two happy songs, since “the rest are all depressing break-up songs.” While that description is mostly accurate, even the break-ups songs are clever and sparkle both musically and lyrically.

She also mixed in a number of new songs that will be on one of the three releases planned for this year.
