Amber Hayes: Featured Artist on Texas Roadhouse

 

Stepping center stage as leading lady Kathy Twitty in the acclaimed musical production, It’s Only Make Believe, Amber Hayes knew she was treading on hallowed ground. Playing the daughter of legendary Country singer Conway Twitty to packed theater audiences across the country was a job the gifted singer took to heart. “Conway Twitty, and all the great traditionalists – I have such great respect for what they did.”

The Conway Twitty production was a great launching pad for Amber’s career, but her true ambition was always to be a solo Country artist. During her yearlong tour with the musical, Amber managed to record her debut EP, C’mon, during off time in Nashville.

Infused with a down-home Country sound accented with fiddle and steel guitar, C‘mon was the outlet that allowed Amber to get personal in a way that musical theater never did.

Her energy shines through in the album’s Top 40 debut single, the innocently flirtatious “C’mon,” while “Can’t Take It Back” reveals the singer’s more sensitive side. The true-to-life narrative “Right as Rain” invokes the tiny town where Amber was raised and her struggles in deciding to leave it.

In 2012, look for 3 of Amber’s songs to be used in the new movie “Cowgirls N Angels”.
