Artist description A distinctive and exceptional mix, Muddled Ambition is a somewhat motley assortment of six musicians from various backgrounds and musical spheres. The Bethlehem PA-based band's original work is fresh, running the gamut from acoustic folk to rock and from ska/reggae to funky soul. Their original songs vary from highly structured compositions to wildly ethereal improvisations that feature rock solid musicianship and lavish harmonies. Muddled Ambition's rich aural tapestry is generated as a product of the band members' various musical perspectives, and proves itself in its reflection of a complex conglomeration of disparate styles. Muddled Ambition is magically contradictory fun.
