The Amar Singh Trio is the genre-bending brainchild of bassist and vocalist Amarinder Singh, a Bay Area native whose musical identity is as diverse and vibrant as the region he calls home. Born in Vallejo and raised between Oakland and Berkeley, Amar’s roots are deeply embedded in the cultural mosaic of Northern California—a backdrop that has profoundly shaped his sound and spirit.
Blending jazz fusion, psychedelic space jazz, funk, hip-hop, R&B, and neo-soul with flourishes of Punjabi folk and Bhangra, the Amar Singh Trio doesn’t just play music—they channel it from multiple dimensions. Amarinder's singular approach to bass and vocals bridges worlds, fusing tradition and experimentation in a groove-heavy, mind-expanding experience.
For over a decade, Amar has been a recurring presence at Berkeley’s iconic Tupper & Reed, performing on and off alongside some of the Bay Area’s most respected musicians. The venue has remained a dearly loved and familiar stage over the years, and Amar continues to value the connection.
