Joe Puerta (born 2 July 1951, California, US) is the bassist/vocalist and founding father of the American rock group Ambrosia.[1] He co-wrote one of their earlier hits, "Holdin' On To Yesterday" (1975).
He was a touring member (bass/vocals) with Chi Coltrane, Laura Brannigan, and Sheena Easton and later became an original member of Bruce Hornsby and the Range. His association with Bruce Hornsby started when Hornsby was invited to play sessions with Ambrosia on their last album.
