Ambre McLean has created a sound that is entirely her own incorporating a number of her influences including jazz, country, blues, folk and pop.

“She must have been born to it” says CBC 3′s Craig Norris. “Ambre’s a brilliant player, a brilliant songwriter and a brilliant performer.”

In 2009, Ambre won 1st place in Guelph ‘s first singer/songwriter contest. She also maintains the tri-cities ECHO award (People’s Choice) for best singer/songwriter.

Ambre has recently partnered with Canadian Indie label Busted Flat Records (Matt Andersen, Jay Semko, Brock Zeman). Ambre’s latest full length “Murder at the Smokehouse – a musical novella” is due for an October 2010 release. Busted Flat will also be re-releasing Ambre’s 2007 full length CD “I Wonder If.”

To appreciate Ambre McLean is to see her perform live. Her piano work is a bit funky, yet haunting. Her breathy voice is ethereal and mesmerizing, she truly is a decadent pleasure captured on the stage.

McLean’s rich vocal styling’s have often been compared to Regina Spektor, Fiona Apple and Tori Amos. She’ll dazzle you on piano or guitar – a little bit blues ‘n jazz, a little bit pop and all soul.
