Ambrosia: Keeping the Smooth Sounds of Yacht Rock Afloat

In the world of classic rock and soft rock, one band has consistently delivered unforgettable melodies and timeless hits that have stood the test of time. That band is Ambrosia, and they’ve been a cherished presence in the music scene since their formation in Los Angeles back in 1970. Known for their chart-toppers like “How Much I Feel” and “Biggest Part of Me,” Ambrosia has remained a beacon of musical excellence for over five decades.

Ambrosia’s journey through the annals of rock history has been nothing short of remarkable. With five top 40 hit singles between 1975 and 1980, their smooth and soulful sound left an indelible mark on the hearts of music lovers. Their enduring classics, including “You’re the Only Woman (You & I)” and “Holdin’ on to Yesterday”, continue to captivate audiences of all ages.

What sets Ambrosia apart is their commitment to their craft and their dedication to delivering unparalleled musical experiences. Most of the original band members have been actively performing together for over thirty years, creating a tight-knit musical family that keeps the Ambrosia legacy alive. The band’s lineup has evolved over time, but their dedication to excellence remains unwavering.

Ambrosia is not just a band with a storied past; they are a dynamic force in today’s music scene. Their international tours and live performances have garnered a growing fanbase, thanks in part to the resurgence of a genre that they helped define—Yacht Rock.

Yacht rock, also known as the West Coast sound or adult-oriented rock, is a genre celebrated for its smooth, melodious tunes and association with a laid-back coastal lifestyle. It emerged as one of the most commercially successful genres in the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, drawing inspiration from smooth soul, smooth jazz, R&B, and disco. With its emphasis on high-quality production, clean vocals, and catchy melodies, Yacht Rock has found a new generation of fans.
