"Since then, Amber Blues has developed a solid, focused and motivated unit. Each member works with the other towards a common goal, which is to be the most original and efficient group possible.

"The members of Amber Blues attribute their unique chemistry to the fact that they are a multicultural unit. Each of one of them brings cultural and spiritual individuality to the group dynamic. Tarek (Islam), Dave and Brian (Jewish) and Jimmy (Pagan) embrace the concept of Interfaith. The group credits their ethnic and religious diversity as being the driving force behind their creative drive and unique sound."
