New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Aradia offial website) Seattle-based singer/songwriter Aradia (www.aradiamusic.com) brings her fresh and otherworldly but supremely infectious hybrid "roktronica" vibe to Barboza (925 E. Pike St. Seattle, WA 98122) on Saturday, July 19 in support of her new EP titled, Possibilities: Light.
The show begins at 7 p.m. and tickets may be purchased in advance for $10 at https://thebarboza.com/event/aradia/.
Aradia's new EP Possibilities: Light includes six compelling tunes (plus a dance remix of the super-poppy '80s throwback "
Today") that are the optimistic opposite of the dark and pensive tunes on her 2012 EP Possibilities: Dark. Both are perfect showcases for a unique sound that blends rock, pop, trip-hop and electronica that she has likened to an otherworldly mix of Donna Summer, Trent Reznor,
David Bowie and
George Harrison.
Possibilities: Light emerged from essentially the same period of composing but has a decidedly more fun-filled spirit about it - a reflection of the life she has now brimming with creativity, a strong social support system and great hope.
Long before tapping into her music talents, Aradia was a proud, self-confessed "biggest nerd ever." Growing up in and around New York City, she was a "mathlete." She joined Young Astronauts. Her personal reading list included Charles Dickens, Ray Bradbury and Greek and Roman mythology. She was a classically trained pianist who enrolled in the
Aaron Copland School of
Music at Queens College.
Perfectly in line with all that, she's a hard core, "live long and prosper" Trekkie, gobbling up Captains Kirk (original series) and Picard (The Next Generation) and the '90s show Star Trek: Voyager.
The Sci-Fi fashionista has performed (with a new band featuring a keyboardist who runs samples) at such popular venues as Nectar Lounge, The Rendezvous and an art gallery club called the McLeod Residence.
