Aurora Florence
A Northern California native now making music in the city that never sleeps, Aurora has been writing and performing across the country for years now. Many have compared her tunes to those of female singersongwriter greats Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, and Regina Spektor. But what sets Auroras work apart is its distinct theatrical qualities. The Daily Album describes her debut EP Its Wonderful as modern female songwriting with a theatrical air. Her lyrics are playful and quirky, yet soulful and dark, bringing out the contrast of her strong but feminine identity. In live performance there is a delicacy and vulnerability that are both rare and captivating. auroraflorence.bandcamp.com
MUSIC
Michael Wagner
Michael makes ukuleles sound like drum-machines, and sings manic guitar songs about love, heartbreak and zombies. He also makes audiences wonder how one man can make so many distinct sounds simultaneously come out of one instrument. Listen to the songs and watch the videos to get an idea. Even better, see it live.
