Amber Lynn Nicol (“Amber Lynn”) (born in New Jersey) is a North American singer- songwriter, musician and producer based in St. Petersburg, FL. Her sound is a blend of beachy pop-rock, country and blues. She has seven studio albums: Born to Roam (2020), Endless Summer (2016), The Bedroom Sessions (2015), Painted Fish (2015), SEVEN (2014), Broader Horizons (2012) and Beach Day (2011). Her first three albums were recorded in Nashville, TN. Her later albums were self-recorded in collaboration with Tampa Bay, Nashville and Los Angeles musicians and producers.

Amber Lynn has toured most of the continental U.S., performed in London, Oxford and Costa Rica– played venues from beach bars and house concerts to concert venues and big festival stages. She opened for Jimmy Buffet at Margaritaville in Key West, FL, Los Lonely Boys at Margaritafest, Dick Dale (the King of Surf Guitar!) at the State Theater in St. Petersburg, FL, Ron Pope and Ari Herstand in Gainesville, FL, country singer Brandi Clarke and has shared the stage with Prairie Prince (member The Tubes, foundling member of Journey, Jefferson Starship)… and the list goes on!

Amber Lynn loves performing. She plays solo acoustic shows and also with her “Low Tide Band.”

Amber Lynn has toured since 2011, frequenting the SF Bay Area, New York, New Jersey, and Los Angeles. Throughout her career she raised over $26,000 on Kickstarter to finance her independent recordings.

Beach Day was a well-received, independent breakout EP, praised for its corky, upbeat nature and heartfelt honesty. The Beach Day single featured an outro cacophony of Nashville slide guitars, kazoos, and whistles, and quickly became a fan favorite as they sang along, “I’ll bring weed if you bring beer, then we won’t need no money will we,” and “I really wish every single say was a beach day!”

Armed with savvy, passion and charisma, Amber Lynn took to social media in 2012 and raised over $6,000 on Kickstarter for the master recordings of her second album Broader Horizons, her followup Nashville release and co-production. She was a Tampa Bay Times featured artist and quickly became known as a talented, local songstress and singer.

Staying true to her lyrics, “broader horizons, room to make big plans…” Amber Lynn loaded up her Jeep and set out on the road to build a following out West. She relocated to Northern California and began writing and performing in collaboration with other SF Bay Area artists. She was featured in The Carmel Pine Cone, and invited to perform for local festivals and lineups to include four consecutive years at the Gilroy Garlic Festival and venues throughout coastal California, SF to LA.

When Amber Lynn returned home to the East Coast in 2014, she raised over $8,000 on Kickstarter to record her third album SEVEN, a departure from her earlier country sound into a more adult, blues-influenced flavor. She coined SEVEN her “breakup album,” unleashing her odes to love, loss and the seven deadly sins. Her single “Cowboy” caught the attention of producers from both The Voice and America’s Got Talent. Amber Lynn’s career continued to shine, as her “Cowboy” single got picked up by triple A radio stations across the U.S.

In 2015, she founded the band Painted Fish, a blues-rock novelty project. Fun, but short-lived, the band only released one album– but it did land Amber Lynn and her lead guitar player on the America’s Got Talent stage!

At the end of 2015, Amber Lynn cut her first ever, self-recorded album, The Bedroom Sessions. The Bedroom Sessions is an acoustic EP featuring coffeeshop style versions of some of Amber Lynn’s earlier works and featuring two new singles: “Don’t Be Shy” and “Wanting You Every Mile.” The EP was written, recorded and mixed in her home studio. Because of its resemblance to her live-acoustic-performance-sound, it became an instant fan favorite. Both raw and intimate and made to be an enjoyable gift, she gave the album to her fans free of charge during the holiday season of 2015 as a way of saying thank you. In the new year she released it for sale to the public.

After releasing The Bedroom Sessions, Amber Lynn decided to take on the challenge of recording her first solo full-sounding LP; and she knew she wanted it to be Pop. She was interested in pushing her creative boundaries and sound, learning more about the art of audio engineering and delving into the world of effected sounds.

Amber Lynn dropped Endless Summer at the end of 2016. The short LP was followed up with music videos for two singles, “Came Here to Dance” and “Set Me Free”— “we can’t be seen, ’cause all my friends hate you.” Amber Lynn’s passion for music came to fruition once again, and the Endless Summer album caught the attention of several EDM producers and Hip Hop artists. “Hey Pretty Bird” was remixed by Funkt in 2018, she was invited to perform on the Sundown Sounds Music Festival Cruise in 2019 and her “Came Here to Dance” single reached over 45,000 views on YouTube that year.

In March 2020, Amber Lynn released her single “Edit,” an island-style acoustic tune about moving beyond regrets and staying positive in the face of change. “Edit” attracted the attention of producer/songwriter Bluu Lou of Blue Rhode Studios in Los Angeles, CA, and during the global pandemic, the two spent the rest of 2020 locked down, writing and recording her seventh studio album, Born to Roam. Born to Roam is a high-energy, Americana-charged pop record featuring all the familiar sounds of the 70’s with a modern spin on the classic format designed for the highway. In the spring of 2021, during a time when many states were still experiencing lockdowns, Amber Lynn embarked on her Born to Roam Campfire Tour. She played campsites from Florida all the way up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, making stops in North Georgia and Ohio along the way. Joined by other artists and friends from across the eastern United States, the Born to Roam Campfire Tour was a unique experience enjoyed by campers and online fans alike.

Amber Lynn is currently practicing as an estate planning attorney while continuing to write, record and perform throughout Tampa Bay. She is working on new music and scheduling dates for her upcoming 2023 tour.
