Life Is Falling Into Place - Amber Nelon Thompson

(Hendersonville, TN – August 12, 2014) Daywind Records is pleased to announce the release of Amber Nelon Thompson’s extended-play project, “Without Your Love.”

Thompson is the soprano singer for Daywind recording artist the Nelons, an award-winning trio that includes her mother Kelly Nelon Clark and Kelly’s husband Jason Clark.

“I am so excited about this project,” emphasizes Thompson. “I have really poured my heart and soul into it, and I’m so thankful God brought all the writers with their amazing songs to me that He did. This has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I’m so thankful to Daywind Records for allowing it to come true.”

The four-song project was produced by Clark. Clark also penned one of the cuts – “What Do You Say?” – and co-wrote the title cut along with Joel Lindsey.  “Falling” is the first single to be distributed to radio.  It is already creating a buzz in the industry. 

“Amber is a producer’s dream,” shares Clark. “There’s nothing musically asked of her that she doesn’t deliver spectacularly. I’ve been producing and writing for Amber since she was nine years old, and to see her maturation as a recording artist is quite stunning indeed. I believe this record is proof of how very special her voice and musical gifts truly are.”

“Amber has a rich musical heritage in this industry, but she continues to evolve and flourish as an artist, continually cultivating her own musical identity with top-notch performances like those that are captured on ‘Without Your Love,’” explains Daywind president Ed Leonard. “Amber breathes life into these songs with powerful vocal performances that will be a delight not only for the fans of the Nelons and Amber, but for a vast array of listeners.”

Daywind Records is home to an award-winning roster of artists, including Tribute Quartet, Karen Peck and New River, the Blackwood Brothers Quartet, the Browders and the Bowling Family. Daywind is distributed to retail through New Day Christian Distributors, Select-O-Hits, and all major digital outlets, including iTunes.

Amber Nelon Thompson Receives Favorite Female Singer Award From AGM

Atlanta, GA (May 21,2014) Phenomenal young talent Amber Nelon Thompson of the Nelons has won her first award and it is a big one. On April 15th at the Absolutely Gospel Music Awards held in Smyrna, TN, Amber won the coveted Favorite Female Singer Award.

Born into a singing family, it seemed Amber's fate to join her family group, but her success was not guaranteed. Through hard work and a great dream she has lived up to the Nelon name of giving the genre great singers. At the Award Celebration Amber brought the crowd to their feet with her feature on the Nelons rendition of “More Than Wonderful”.

Deon Unthank, President of AGM said “I believe the screams when Amber won this award were the loudest of the evening. The crowd certainly approved of her choice as Favorite Female Singer. This was the first award that has ever acknowledged her talent and I believe there will be many more to follow.”

Amber was clearly moved by her accomplishment and dedicated the award to her late Grandfather, Rex Nelon, the gifted Bass singer for whom the group was named. At this point both Amber and her Mother, Kelly Nelon Clark who was co-hosting for the evening, were both shedding tears and the crowd bursting in thunderous applause.

Amy Unthank, VP of AGM stated “With so many people talking about the demographic of Southern Gospel Music it is wonderful to see young people like Amber being recognized for their talent and the fans accepting them as the great artist they are. Amber is truly one of those artists. Congratulations to Amber.”

Amber is in the process of recording a brand new solo project with Daywind Records, so be watching for it.
