Album Notes

AmberJane has been joyfully praising the Lord in song for as long as she can remember. Growing up in a musical family, she began writing songs at the age of 12. Her family is full of musicians, missionaries, pastors, worship leaders and sold-out Christians serving God. Her father is Associate Pastor and worship leader at Calvary Chapel of Corona.
Her aunt and uncle Sam and Janey Stewart and their family spent 8 years as missionaries in Guatemala preaching the Gospel of Christ. They also founded "Charlie's Lunch" a ministry that has fed thousands of hungry children in several countries. Her uncle Tommy Walker is one of the most gifted worship leaders and prolific songwriters of our time.

It stands to reason then, that AmberJane would grow up to write and sing songs to the Lord. AmberJane has attended bible college and plans to "lead worship and praise the Lord anywhere possible". She plays churches and coffee houses sometimes solo (with her acoustic guitar) and sometimes backed by a full band that includes her two brothers; Josh (keyboards/piano) Jon (on drums) an accomplished bass player named Rob Salter and guitarist Sid Avila. In 2000, AmberJane went on a missions tour of the Philippines as part of The Joy Band, a band that also included the AmberJane band as well as her sister Aimee, Nicole Parise, and occasionally her mom and dad Dave and Beverly Rios. This tour was a benefit for the Charlie's Lunch ministry.

AmberJane has written some of the most heartfelt, genuine worship songs you'll ever hear.

In 2002, AmberJane entered the recording studio to work on her debut album, a collection of songs born out of a heart and a desire to serve the Lord. The 14-song, CD is available now to introduce you to AmberJane. The songs are spiritual and sincere. The Offering is a song about the incredible gift of salvation that God offers us. My God You Are is a song that gives God His rightful place. Deepest Love reminds us of the limitless love of God, Find Me is a song of worship and surrender and Closer is an intimate prayer song.

The album released soon on a new, independent label called BrandNewSong.

"God has blessed me and my family so very much. Every time I think things are not going to work out, He reminds me that He is faithful. I am truly honored to have the privilege to serve Him. If the Lord allows me to write, record and sing songs to Him... I'd be foolish not to serve Him with all my heart."
