About AMB

Acoustic Millennium Band (AMB) blends the raw drive of AC/DC with the improvisational spirit of the Grateful Dead. Born in Rockford, IL in 1998, AMB writes and performs original songs that fuse vintage tone with modern energy.

With 5 studio albums, 4 RAMI Awards, 2 Best of Rockford, and 1 Best of Waterfront, AMB has been a cornerstone of the northern Illinois music scene for over two decades. The band tours coast to coast and plays regularly at venues across the stateline area.

"We are a different cup of coffee." — Mike Gulley, founder
