Ambrosia Nicole Parsley (June 23, 1971, Reseda, California[1]) is an American alternative pop/rock singer-songwriter. She began her career in 1999 as the lead singer of Shivaree accompanied by Danny McGough (keyboard), and Duke McVinnie (guitar).

History

Parsley was born June 23, 1971, and grew up in Reseda, California. She was daughter of General Telephone and Electronics employee Lyle Parsley and the former Pam Pollack.[1]

Ambrosia Parsley has released 4 studio albums and 2 EPs with Shivaree. In addition to her work with Shivaree, Parsley has appeared on Mocean Worker's album Enter the Mowo, Verbena's La Musica Negra and has been featured in many other works by other artists.

Ambrosia Sings The News

In April 2004, Ambrosia Parsley embarked on a project for the liberal radio station Air America called Ambrosia Sings the News, providing a short song, usually under a minute or so, always with the same melody, that attempted to encapsulate the contents of the previous week's headlines. Approximately 47-50 installments of "Ambrosia Sings the News" were aired some of which she performed live. The show was successful enough that a single entitled "2004 (The Year In Review...For Anyone Who Can Bear the Mere Thought)" was sold exclusively via iTunes.

Ambrosia Parsley Solo Album Debut

According to a Rounder Records publicist, Ambrosia was to release her debut solo album in the spring of 2008. However, for reasons unknown, the album was not released. In October 2009 unofficial sources said that Parsley was continuing to work on her solo album and would eventually see its release.

On April 2010 the song "Rubble" was presented on Parsley's official website as the first single of the yet-untitled solo album. The single became available for listening as streaming audio and a free download was available directly from the site.

On October 7, 2010 a message was posted on Parsley's official Facebook account that stated "Ambrosia has been hard at work on a solo project with the esteemed Elegant Too duo of Chris Maxwell and Phil Hernandez (Ray Davies, Yoko Ono, Fred Schneider, Jon Spencer, some others) and they’re threatening to debut a collection of heretofore unheard/unholy goods." On October 10, 2010 she debuted 3 new songs, "My Knees", "The Waltz" and "Make Me Laugh," in a small live performance in Phoenicia, New York, indicating that the solo album was on its way.

On December 6, 2010 Parsley said: "Finishing up in January. Hoping for a spring release" {{update after|2011|12|31}}. She also named another track, "Weeping Cherry", that would be included in the album.

On April 1, 2011 Ambrosia Parsley's official website was remodeled with new pictures, a live performance announcement, contact information, and a new song titled "The Other Side". The new track became available for free download in the same fashion that "Rubble" was.
