Ambersongs by The Magnificent Ambersons
Before adding a drummer full time, the Magnificent Ambersons regaled patrons of Clyde's Open Stage with their diverse, eclectic, original tunes to raucous applause and cheers. The songs may have had different styles and themes from one to the next, but they were unmistakable as Magnificent Ambersons songs. Adding a drummer and an engineer, everything started to coalesce. Making a record seemed like the logical thing, despite none of the band knowing anything about making a record. It was still a little chaotic, but SO MUCH FUN. Anyhow, keep an open mind, remember that Facebook hadn't been invented yet, and enjoy!

Back in the mid-to-late 1990s, The Magnificent Ambersons took DeKalb, Illinois (and a select group of other Midwestern towns) by storm, playing their take on power pop/independent rock. Buoyed by a cadre of friends and family, the Ambersons released 2 full-length CDs and had 40+ songs at the ready for any type of live engagement. Then, suddenly, and ill-fated taco dinner. IYKYK.
