The Ambitions are a Washington, D.C. based soul band. Their music is an inspired mixture of 60's soul, garage, and mod culture with a twist all their own. Their lively stage performance gets crowds on their feet and dancing. Even the non-dancers are hypnotized by the band's energy on stage leaving them wanting more
The band has gained a large following from the local DC, Baltimore, and VA club circuit and features musicians from touring acts such as The Checkered Cabs, Villa Rosie, Victor Rice Octet, New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble, Eastern Standard Time, and more.
A southern soul-influenced band from Washington, DC worthy of your attention. The Ambitions take the stage, and I remember why I bothered to come out: they're ridiculously good."
Singer Caz Gardiner is as much a sight to behold as a joy to hear. By the time their set is finished, half the crowd is shaking a** in one way or another. The Ambitions transcend the space; anywhere they play there will be dancing and smiles."
