Auresia live!
1969-12-31 | Mex Pub :: 1001 Ryan Road Courtenay,
?If there ever was a time, since Bob Marley where Reggae could actually penetrate popular music, Auresia definitely has the potential.? -- Duke?s Pick of the Week, CBC Radio 1, Home Run.

Montreal reggae artist, Auresia, embarks on her 2010 Canada Love Tour Since her 26-date coast-to-coast 2009 Canadian Roots Tour last summer, the country has awaited the return of her powerfully haunting voice and soulful, melodic blend of Caribbean and urban sounds. With the strength of her self-released debut album last year, she has had the honor of receiving a ?Favorite World Artist? nomination at the 2010 Canadian Independent Music Awards, which took place this March in Toronto.

Auresia and her 4-piece band will be bringing her island-flavoured celebration of song and dance to 22 cities and towns across Canada. Featuring songs from her self-titled CD, her tour will also be premiering live 3 new songs to be released as singles later this Summer. She is also proud to announce a special addition to her band - the Canadian Reggae luminary, Kali of Kali & Dub Inc on guitar and keyboards. Also new to her line up is the amazingly talented Colin Edgar whose simultaneous double-saxophone playing will be sure to wow audiences. Matt Gardiner joins her on bass, and Amy Wolkowski returns on drums, from her Edmonton line-up, The Constellation-Ites.

The Opening act will be local favorite "TheNakedDj's" (all one word), own, Mikey Reggae, who is sure to keep the vibes high and beats movin? your hips and feet.

Auresia is still making waves amongst the reggae community; her intricate melodies, beautiful harmonies and combination of Soul, Reggae and RnB blend together to create a sound uniquely her own. Aside from her nomination at this year's Indie Awards, Auresia was also nominated for Four Canadian Reggae Music Awards and is featured on the cover of Canada's Reggae Xclusive Magazine. Auresia?s debut CD is on Sale at HMV and online at www.auresia.com.

Come check out Auresia on Friday, June 11th at The Mex. Her music will keep you dancing, moving and smiling all night long!
