Amber Weekes

Born: July 9

Amber Weekes believes that jazz can heal the soul.  Her beautiful, timeless voice is preserving the jazz sounds and mood of the great artists the world has known and keeping it alive.

American jazz recording artist Amber Weekes has given the world a special and unique gift – her voice.

Her producer, Mark Cargill, described it as “a voice from Heaven,” and “hears harps, violins, and trumpets on a cloud of velvet” whenever she begins to sing.

Weekes is rising to the pinnacle of her career with the 2024 release of “A Lady with a Song – Amber Weekes Celebrates Nancy Wilson,” an homage to the legendary jazz singer and fellow storyteller.  This new project features Guitarist Russell Malone, Flute and saxophonist Justo Almario, and several other renowned musicians.  Her other albums, “Pure Imagination,” Christmas album “The Gathering,” and “Round Midnight Re-Imagined,” which Midwest Record’s Chris Spector calls “killer stuff,” all reflect her mastery of the jazz song.
