Ambrosia
AMBROSIA ~ FEBRUARY 15 – 20

In the year 1970, four young musicians from the South Bay of Los Angeles came together to create a new invigorating style of music. Exploring the possibilities of progressive, classical, and world influences, yet rooted with the soul of the blues and R&B, Joseph Puerta, Christopher North, Burleigh Drummond, and David Pack created a new sound that was defined and recognized as “Ambrosia.” Today the band is more alive and compelling than ever. They are proud of their musically diverse history and embrace their popularity gained through heavy play on “Yacht Rock Stations.” Ambrosia, with THREE of the four original members intact after 51 years, continues to perform live and showcases both their legacy hit material and prog side.
