American Beauties is an indie electric folk band from Boston, Massachusetts playing live original music at local clubs and music festivals around greater New England. Their sound has been compared to the west coast folk rock bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s with elements of contemporary indie folk and pop. The live band was formed in the summer of 2010 and is made up of four artists with roots in the thriving indie music scene of Cambridge and Somerville, Massachusetts.
