We would not have known about the house we rented w/o her efforts to contact the owner. Solved a very worrisome problem for both us and the home owner--everyone won.” -Zillow SH E I L A HA L L BRANCH BROKER 435.640.7162 | sheila @sheilahall.com 1700 Park Avenue | Park City, Utah 84060 PHOTO BY MAX HOETZE Ambrosia, which is two years shy of its 50th anniversary, plans to play three sets filled with hits and surprises at the Egyptian Theatre next week. Ambrosia readies three nights at the Egyptian Theatre SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record When Ambrosia plays its three-night Park City run Aug. 23 to Aug. 25 at the Egyptian Theatre, fans can expect to hear its hits from the 1970s, “How Much I Feel” and “Biggest Part of Me,” said bassist Joe Puerta. “The show is primarily a retrospective show, but we have a wide variety of music, because we’re a band that isn’t stuck in a single mold,” Puerta said. “Early on, people thought of us as the American answer to the English prog-rock bands like Yes and King Crimson.” One of the reasons for this was because Ambrosia recruited rockstar producer Alan Parsons, who is known for his work with The Beatles, Pink Floyd and his eponymous band, The Alan Parsons Project, to mix its self-titled debut. “Alan is considered one of the greatest music engineers of the history of rock music, and he mixed our first album and produced and mixed our second album,” Puerta said. Ambrosia’s first single, “Holdin’ On to Yesterday,” which peaked at No. 13 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in 1975, had a mystical progressive sound that was the result of many influences, according to Puerta. “It actually started out as a country-rock song in the same vein as Crosby, Stills & Nash,” he said. “Our drummer Burleigh (Drummond) suggested we bring in a bluesy element to the songs and we took right to it, because we all had strong rhythm and blues leanings. Then we had Alan mix it and it became something totally different.” Today Puerta, Drummond and keyboardist Christopher North, all original Ambrosia members, have teamed with guitarist Doug Jackson, keyboardist Mary Harris and acoustic guitarist Ken Stacey to keep the Ambrosia catalog alive, which started nearly a half century ago in the South Bay region of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. “The idea back then was to put together, in our own little way, the best and innovative players we could,” Puerta said. “The goal was to be the next Beatles, but we didn’t make it. Instead, it came down to us finding chemistry, personalities and musical backgrounds that created our sound.” Puerta clarified that he, Drummond and North haven’t played continuously as Ambrosia throughout the 48 years. “I did take a break, and played with Bruce Hornsby and The Range for seven years,” Puerta said. Hornsby, incidentally, just played in Park City on Thursday. Puerta said Ambrosia will pay tribute to his time in Hornsby’s band by playing a song or two from that era. “It’s a fun little thing we can do, because Bruce is an incredible and versatile musician,” Puerta said. In addition to Hornsby, Puerta and his Ambrosia bandmates have had opportunities to perform with other renowned “Yacht Rock” singers and songwriters including Robbie Dupree, Peter Beckett from Player and Stephen Bishop of Bread, according to Puerta. Yacht Rock is a genre formerly known as the “West Coast Sound” or “Adult-Oriented Rock.” © 2016 BHH Affiliates, LLC.
