Forming in Ithica, NY under the name “Ambassadors” , the X Ambassadors have come a long way since their initial EP, “The Reason”, and are now on a tour to support one of their recent singles as well as an upcoming album, “Joyful”. The group is made up of drummer Adam Levin, singer Sam Harris, as well as pianist Casey Harris. The band is also joined on stage by a touring choir, who assists frontman Sam Harris while he puts together a melody on his saxophone, which has always been a highlight of the groups live show. 

Watching all the moving parts at work proves to be the most impressive part of the show. Moving quickly from song to song without hesitation, the band never misses a beat and continues to play smoothly and cleanly amongst many moving parts on stage. Whether it be a saxophone breakdown or a piano interlude, the band holds it together and comes out of a song proving their skills without fail. 

X Ambassadors are on tour in the United States throughout the end of May, and plan to release a new album in 2018.
