Amber Mae – Soulful Rock & Blues Artist

Hailing from Redding, California, and raised in the scenic Napa Valley, Amber Mae was immersed in music from an early age. Coming from a musical family of six girls, the foundation for a lifelong passion was built early by their father, leading to a deep connection with sound and storytelling.

Since high school, Amber Mae has been an integral part of various bands, honing skills as a multi-instrumentalist on piano, guitar, and drums. Influenced by the raw emotion of soul, the timeless energy of classic rock, and the grit of the blues, she delivers a sound that is both powerful and deeply authentic.

Known for soulful, gritty vocals that command attention, Amber Mae brings an electrifying presence to every performance, channeling influences while forging a unique musical identity. Whether on stage in a big venue or quaint pubs, the passion and intensity behind every note are unmistakable.

Keith Eckert plays Sweetshoots!

Saturday, March 29 from 6-8pm

Keith started playing guitar at just 13, his skills were soon noticed and he was placed in a gifted musical program focusing on classical guitar.

  He played in various bands, from 1980's Hair to Rockabilly/swing and just about everything in between, but he always dreamed of making his own music.

  Keith decided to follow his heart after making the Long List, top 150 out of 3100 original songs, in the worldwide "Talent is Timeless" competition.

   His music could be described as Folky Rock with Bluesy lyrics about things that almost anyone might have gone through themselves. A lifetime of eclectic musical experiences shine through every song and the music behind them.
