Ambre McLean, Live at The Pearl: Friday, May 2. 8:00pm. $15 general admission/ $10 for artists of all stripes, students, and seniors. Doors at 7:30pm. We are excited to have singer/songwriter Ambre McLean (Busted Flat Records) back again for another amazing show. This will be Ambre’s 4^th show at The Pearl and with a voice and delivery like hers, she never misses, so don’t you miss out! “Ambre’s voice is an instrument itself: gorgeous, sometimes with a rich, bluesy feel, other times a sweet mellow sound, alternatively soft and ferocious, always carrying these tunes straight to your musical heart.” David Yazbeck, CKCU FM.  Ambre has been gifted with the ability of appearing small on stage, but once she’s up there it doesn’t take long for her powerful voice and talent for her to appear larger than life. She fills the room with the songs that will make you remember lost loves, abandoned dreams, and new hopes. She has performed on the CBC Music Searchlight Competition, and made it to round three, which surprised no one except that she did not finish by winning! http://ambremclean.com Listen: http://www.youtube.com/user/ambremclean
