I met up with Amber DeLaCruz in October 2018 when she was performing in Port St. Lucie, Florida at Chillin’ on the Lucie. It was an all-you-can-drink music festival with dozens of artists that came out to perform.
Even If
When I met up with her, we talked about her music, which included the song “Even If”. It’s a true story about DeLaCruz being sober for a year as well as death. She also talks about an accident. Amber went on to say during the interview that “there wasn’t any kind of intervention to her getting sober. [She] was just tired of being tired and sad.”
“Even If” came about because she met her cowriter Jami Grooms at a bar called Losers where her friend – Jacob – introduced them. At some point during the night, Jami asked what she was drinking, and she said that she was just drinking water.
During their conversation, Grooms asked why she doesn’t drink and Amber stated that she used to drink everybody out of the bar. He was curious why she stopped drinking and she said that she would sometimes drive home and not remember the drive. She got into an accident and totaled her vehicle and didn’t even tell her parents about it. She left that accident without a scratch. Her brother-in-law got into an accident four days after she did, and that incident was the catalyst to her slowly getting her act together .
DeLaCruz said, “I was torn after my brother-in-law’s accident. I would just hate for my mom to get a phone call from somebody she doesn’t even know that something happened to me. I saw how torn she was with my brother-in law. I just [can’t] imagine what would happen if I put myself through something horrible like that, and it was totally my fault. My mom just couldn’t handle that.”
Songwriting
We talked about how her songwriting sessions go. She has ideas that are completely ridiculous in her head, but sometimes she just needs people to help her figure it out. She is famous for hooks, and sometimes she has beats or melodies too.
Where Amber Plays (Has Played At)
You can see her pretty regularly down Broadway at Luke Bryan’s bar. Amber also travels when she gets the chance. She played in Columbia, South Carolina this past October. In August, she played in Indianapolis, Indiana; just a couple days later she boarded a cruise ship and performed while traveling to Mexico with the same company that put on Chillin’ on the Lucie, which they are doing AGAIN in 2020!
Cruise
The exact dates for the Kinfoke Krewz are August 24th-29th and it’s on the Carnival Cruise Line, but you have to call their 1800 number or book the deposit through their website. Rooms are between $599 and $799 per person, and you can also stay at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside three days before and after the cruise. Some of the artists that are going to be on the cruise, are Smo, Twang and Round, Charlie Farley, Hosier, The Tall Boys, and there are more that are being announced!
Music and Social Media
She also has music that she has released within the past year too . In December 2018, she released a music video for her song, “I’m From The South.” This past June she sang with Seckond Chaynce in his song, “Blow My Mind.”
