The Last Ambassadors would have never been if it weren’t for dueling guitar players Jake Brill and Steven Flusberg friending each other as 14 year olds in suburban Boston.
And when I say friending each other, I mean it like actually meeting each other in a class or something, and not digitally friending on Facebook, which is more meaningful I think.
In 2006, they started putting together some songs on acoustic and electric guitars, slowly incorporating additional acoustic effects as that year passed.
In concert, listen for Flusberg’s space-defying guitar licks, and Brill’s Roots-inspired word play, often followed by the other band members suggesting ‘Jakie Don’t Stop.’
Jakie doesn’t stop, he keeps the jams coming.
The Last Ambassadors are on a West Coast tour right now. - Yo, Check This Jam (www.yocheckthisjam.com

Bio
Formed in the spring of 2008, The Last Ambassadors have spent the last three years honing a sound that is hard to categorize. Compared to such acts as My Morning Jacket, Pink Floyd and Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Last Ambassadors have crafted a unique style that combines rock, pop, funk and psychedelic with electronic influences that permeate throughout.
The Last Ambassadors released their first album "Treaties" in the fall of 2010. Mastered by multi-Grammy nominee Alan Silverman, "Treaties" displays the band's signature sound of soaring harmonies and complex guitar melodies intertwined with a driving groove. In the fall of 2011, The Last Ambassadors returned to the studio to record their second full-length album, and is now showcasing their new material at their energetic and captivating live shows.
