Combat boots, body suits...jackets with one too many zippers. One hand is all but covered with treasures she's collected. The other left, free of adornments, to spasm at will. It's almost as if its sole purpose was to guide the sound. Top it off with lightning hair teased to the heavens....and you have Amber Yholeata, but that�s just the tip of the iceberg.
Whether belting out a classic or giving life with one of her high energy, self-written records, this bluesy rock goddess draws you in immediately. With an energy reminiscent of Iggy Pop, the allure & vitality of Mick Jigger combined with the spontaneity of The Doors front man, Jim Morrison, She is a force that is purely undeniable.
