The Furry Ambers are a band made up of participants from the Listen Up! Music non-profit day program. They play original folk/rock/pop music that blends the skills and perspectives of four very talented and individual songwriters.

They have played in Portland at The Big Easy, One Longfellow Square, Slainte, and The Art Department.

They are a group of musicians from all walks of life. If you come to one of our performances, you will immediately be taken over by the undeniable spirit and passion of Rock n’ Roll wasn’t meant to be perfect and neither are The Clearwater Benders — but we love music, we love performing together and we hope that our fans will enjoy our brand of Rock n’ Roll as much as we do.
