THE BASICS
The Ampersands are a Twin Cities / Bay Area indie-rock/pop studio outfit led by singer-songwriters, multi-instrumentalists, and childhood friends Aaron McQuade and Jim Pace.
We have released three critically-acclaimed studio albums: And (2008), This is Your Adventure Too (2012), and Happy to Be Here (2021).
​
PEOPLE LOVE US
"The Ampersands deserve to be huge. If merit equals reward, then they will be. This is lovingly crafted, questing pop-rock which ought to garner a large and loyal fan-base."
​
"The Ampersands are accessible but complex, soul-stirring but light-hearted, and after a long hiatus, they’re finally back."
