Texas country artist Amber Digby will will be making her debut appearance on the Grand Ol' Opry on December 19th. By the readers of the Scandinavian magazine, “Kounty Korall”, she was recently voted “Female Artist of The Year”, along with her project, “Here Come The Teardrops”, being voted “International Album Of The Year”. Amber was also nominated for “Pure Country Female Vocalist” in 2006 by the Academy of Western Artists and won the award in 2008.
Although her success seems to have sprung out overnight, it is not so. Amber Digby has been surrounded by musical influences her whole life it should come as no surprise that she has completely mastered such a great traditional country sound. Digby came from a musical family as both her parents have been in country music for decades: her mother Dee was a harmony singer with Connie Smith, and her father Dennis Digby played bass for Loretta Lynn for almost twenty years. Her uncle is legendary entertainer Darrell McCall. Her step-father, Dicky Overbey, is considered a steel guitar legend and played with the likes of Faron Young, Connie Smith, Hank Williams, Jr., Ronnie Milsap, Johnny Bush, and currently plays with Amber. In this musical family, the young Amber literally grew up on stage.
Amber Digby's latest release "Another Way To Live" (Heart of Texas Records) is an excellant cd. Amber put herself in excellent hands with Justin Trevino, who knows more than a little something about traditional country music, at the production helm. Backing Amber in the studio is Dicky Overby (steel guitar), husband Randy Lindley (lead guitar), Reggie Rueffer (fiddles), Justin Trevino (tic tac guitar), Jake Hooker (upright bass),Tom Lewis(drums) and T. Jarrod Bonto (piano). They chose a strong and impressive combination of covers and originals for the album.
