Amber deLaurentis released her second full-length album, Innocent Road, in October 2019.  All material was co-written with husband Tom Cleary and longtime collaborator, Sarah Blue. DeLaurentis and Cleary worked with producer Colin McCaffrey. “The songs on this record are the best of what I’ve done with Tom and Sarah in the last 10-15 years…there are influences from across the spectrum, from The Band to Joni Mitchell to Genesis."

Amber oversees the vocal jazz program at University of Vermont, where she teaches voice and co-directs the UVM Jazz Vocal Ensemble with husband Tom Cleary. Amber also teaches vocal jazz at St. Michael’s College and maintains a private studio of voice and piano students. Amber performs regularly as a member of jazz quartet Birdcode, (which just released its first recording You Are Here in June) and of vocal trio, Blue Gardenias. As a songwriter, Amber released her first full-length record, Hey Sadie, in 2008. One of Amber and Tom Cleary’s original songs, “All Year Long” was featured in the soundtrack for the 2012 premiere of the holiday film, Scrooge and Marley. Amber has previously performed with Ben Folds, opened for Patti Larkin, Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks, NRBQ, Tom Paxton, Marshall Crenshaw, Five for Fighting, Alana Davis, and Entrain.
