Ambientblends jazz, gospel and R&B into a fusion of relaxing music, buoyant and original compositions and smooth sophistication well beyond their years.
The members of Ambient have performed together for years at local churches. James, Walt and Andy have been playing instruments all their lives and the love for music has continued to grow.
In 2006 Ambient became an official band and have gained a diverse following in Central Illinois. Since Ambient has been together they've had the honor of being the opening guest band for legendary R&B artist Dionne Warwick in 2006. Ambient were the winners of the ICC RiverCity Soul Fest Idol Contest in 2007.
At this time Ambient is working to complete their freshman album which will be released in 2008.
