Ambrosia Nicole Parsley (born June 23, 1971, in Reseda, California)[1] is an American alternative pop/rock singer-songwriter.

She began her career in 1999 as the lead singer of Shivaree accompanied by Danny McGough (keyboard), and Duke McVinnie (guitar).

She was the daughter of general telephone and electronics employee Lyle Parsley and the former Pam Pollack.

In April 2004, Ambrosia Parsley embarked on a project for the liberal radio station Air America called Ambrosia Sings the News, providing a short song, usually under a minute or so, always with the same melody, that attempted to encapsulate the contents of the previous week's headlines.

The show was successful enough that a single entitled "2004 (The Year In Review...For Anyone Who Can Bear the Mere Thought)" was sold exclusively via iTunes.
