The Los Angeles-born musicians have been nominated for five Grammy awards, have had five Hit Singles, Heavy FM Airplay and the admiration of the musical community. Featuring songs "The Biggest Part of Me," "How Much I Feel," "Holdin' On To Yesterday," among many more! With sold out concerts around the world, you won't want to miss this show at the Broadway Theatre of Pitman!

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, David Pack and Burleigh Drummond created a new sound that was defined and recognized as "Ambrosia".

Originally labeled as America's answer to the progressive invasion of such English acts as "Yes" and "King Crimson", the group quickly proved it was all that and much more as it's albums painted aural landscapes covering the gamut of musical styles and attracting the collaboration of such cultural icons as, Leonard Bernstein, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and Alan Parsons.

In it's brief recording history, Ambrosia garnered 5 Grammy Nominations, 5 Hit Singles, Heavy FM Airplay and the admiration and respect of the musical community. All this was in addition to Sold Out concerts around the world.

Today, the band is more alive and compelling than ever. With three of the original members in tact plus the addition of guitar ace Doug Jackson on electric guitar and backing vocals, Mary Harris contributing amazing keyboards and vocals, and the powerful and contemporary lead vocals and acoustic guitar of Ken Stacey...Ambrosia is exploring new musical territory and continuing to wow life-long fans and new converts alike!

The band will play at the Broadway Theatre of Pitman on June 2, 2017 at 8PM. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased by phone at 856-384-8381, or online here.
