RC & THE AMBERS

RC & the Ambers


Forged in the heart of a dying star, RC and the Ambers are an Americana Honky-Tonk Band from Tahlequah, OK. Formed by RC Edwards (founding member of the Turnpike Troubadours) and long time friend and collaborator Amber Watson.

The core lineup of the band consists of Edwards on guitar and vocals, Watson on vocals, and a zydeco rub board, Justin Kay on vocals, mandolin and porch board, Nicholas Pitre on vocals, upright bass, and foot tambourine and Lance Roark on vocals and lead guitar. All of this combining for a sound that is both cosmic and country. Big harmonies and foot stomping sing alongs combined with Jim Beam and Champagne create a show you won’t soon forget.

In the Fall of 2020 RC and the Ambers recorded their first album with fellow Turnpike Troubadour and all around bad ass, Hank Early, at Pine Curtain studios in Tahlequah, OK.
Early’s first foray into producing did not disappoint. Hank mixed and mastered the record, while also playing a majority of the instruments.

A long time fixture of Turnpike shows was Edwards taking center stage for a song or two to sing crowd favorites such “Drunk, High. and Loud”. Fans have requested a solo record for years and it has arrived.

Big Country.

Released the Great Fall of 20221 the album is filled with tales, of honky tonks, heart ache, local folk heroes and a yearning for the great beyond. RC’s stories (and a few of his friends’) are punctuated by Amber’s vocals and Early’s musical virtuosity on just about everything. Fellow Turnpike Troubadours Gabriel Pearson and Kyle Nix join the experiment on percussion and fiddle respectively. Cory Graves (Vandoliers) brought the horns to add just the right amount of sauce.


The first single "Oklahoma Beach Body" (written by Early) is an upbeat summertime anthem with tongue in-cheek humor about life and love in Cherokee County, Oklahoma.
