The truth? This band is hard to categorize, which is a big part of the appeal. Their high-energy live show has struck a chord with Northwestern audiences, resulting in sold out performances at Mississippi Studios and the Sisters Folk Festival, a featured performance at Bend’s Les Schwab Amphitheater. They’re touring in support of their sophomore full-length album ‘Peach.’” Saturday, April 25, Amber & The Pale Ales 9:30 p.m. Hood River Soulful Rock. "Amber and the Pale Ales are a four-piece acoustic folk-rock band playing covers and originals, incorporating three-part harmonies and melodic guitar solos, and based around the powerhouse vocals of Amber Nelson."
