Auresia believes that anyone who comes to her show tonight – will be dancing away the winter blues …

The beautiful singer of Ukrainian origin has just released her first ep ‘So In Love With You‘ and she plans on introducing it tonight at  Bobards – 4328 Saint Laurent Boulevard. Doors open at 9pm.

“I will be on stage with a seven piece band. There will be a horn section, keyboards, bass, drums – it is a group of musicians who are very good at what they do. They posess a lot of rythym. I am looking forward to a great show!”

This may be the Montrealer’s first ep yet she is a seasoned performer. Auresia has traveled all over and a reggae festival in California was the turning point in her career.  The (then) young lady, traveled to the Golden State and literally danced all day long.

“I arrived with brand new shoes which I had just purchased.” Laughs Auresia. “By the end of the day, I had holes in them from dancing so much. I had so much fun and realized this is what I want to do …”

Auresia grew up in a musical environment. Her Father played accordion and her Mom played piano. There was always music in the house and those rhythms stayed with the beauty enough to compose two strong singles from her new album. With musical roots as diverse as the world’s music lovers,  Auresia has been nominated for Favorite World Artist at the 2010 Independent Music Awards and for four awards at the Canadian Reggae Music Awards for her self-titled debut album

“I really am proud of ‘So In Love With You’ and ‘Rising’. Says Auresia. “It was composed with four other people and we all put a lot of time and effort into it. I believe whoever comes to the show tonight, will have a great time and hopefully be dancing the night away.”

A few surprise guests will also be on hand tonight. The bar will be set higher than usual as a menu of songs consisting mostly of  originals will be the main course. A few choice covers tossed into the mix to display Auresia’s musical roots and influences.  What will the covers be …?

Auresia says it is a surprise although two of her favorite artists growing up were  Peter Tosh and Bob Marley.

One thing is certain, anyone attending will have to purchase a new pair of shoes tomorrow. It will be that much fun …
