expressive vocals and unwavering dedication to the classic honky-tonk sound. With a style deeply

 rooted in the golden era of country, she has built a loyal following among fans who appreciate

authentic, steel-driven country music.

Raised in a musical family, Amber was surrounded by classic country from an early age. Her mother,

 Leslie Anne Sloan—known to many as Miss Leslie—is a well-known traditional country artist, and her

stepfather, Randy Lindley, is a respected musician as well. Growing up in this environment, Amber

developed a deep appreciation for the sounds of legends like Connie Smith, Ray Price, and Loretta Lynn, influences that can still be heard in her music today.

Amber’s career began to take shape in Texas dance halls and honky-tonks, where her powerful voice and traditional style quickly set her apart. She gained national attention with a string ofacclaimed albums,

including Pass Me By, Another Way to Live, and Hold Me. Her recordings are celebrated for their heartfelt

delivery, classic arrangements, and strong emphasis on steel guitar and fiddle.

showcases such as the Ameripolitan Music Awards and various steel guitar conventions across the

 country. She fronts her band, Midnight Flyer, featuring some of the finest musicians in the genre,

including standout pedal steel players who help define her signature sound.

"I was at the Opry," Amber recalls, "just hanging out and watching backstage, and Vince Gill was there.

 I went over and said, 'Hey, I'm Amber Digby, I just wanted to meet you.' And before I could finish,

 he said, 'Oh my gosh, I love your stuff, I hear you all the time on satellite radio.' I couldn't believe it,

 it was almost surreal. But he invited me to write with him, and I did—and he wound up recording

the song we wrote. And now he's singing a duet with me for my next album."

Whether performing on stage or recording in the studio, Amber Digby continues to honor the

legacy of classic country music while bringing it to new audiences. Her voice, steeped in tradition

and emotion, ensures that the timeless sound of honky-tonk remains as vibrant as ever.

Lynn Owsley – Steel Guitar Master

Lynn Owsley’s journey into music began at an early age, growing up in the dance halls of Alabama, Georgia,

 and Florida. Playing hoedown fiddle tunes left-handed, he quickly developed a natural feel for music and performance. At just 14 years old, Lynn discovered the pedal steel guitar. Over the next six years, he

 honed his skills and became remarkably proficient.

At age 20, a trip to Nashville to repair his Sho-Bud steel guitar would prove to be life-changing. While

at the shop, Lynn met legendary steel guitarist Shot Jackson, who invited him to attend the

Grand Ole Opry that very night. Standing backstage, meeting Roy Acuff, and hearing the rich,

unmistakable sound of steel guitar echo through the Ryman Auditorium left a lasting impression.

Within a week, Lynn landed a job on the road with Wanda Jackson. That opportunity opened doors

 to an impressive run of performances with country music greats including Charlie Louvin,

Stonewall Jackson, Webb Pierce, Lefty Frizzell, Billy Walker, and Claude Gray.

Owsley is perhaps best known for his long-standing role as a member of Ernest Tubb and

The Texas Troubadours, a position he held for over a decade beginning in 1974. During that time,

he contributed to the legacy of one of country music’s most iconic bands, known for hits

like “Waltz Across Texas” and “Walkin’ the Floor Over You.”

Today, Lynn continues to perform regularly in Nashville at venues like Music City Bar, The Troubadour,

 and Robert’s Western World, sharing his signature sound with audiences who appreciate both the

 history and the heart of traditional country music.
