September 25 6:30pm doors $15 adv/ $20 dos Sova/Sophia Vastek, Amanda Rogers, AUK - an inspiring night of cinematic songs and compositions.
Sova — the moniker of New York-based pianist/composer Sophia Vastek — the piano has always been home. A second generation pianist, she holds a deep reverence for her history, coupled with an exploratory ear, and moves quietly between musical worlds. Described as performing with "passion and profound tenderness” (Second Inversion) and “serene strokes and lyrical beauty” (Brooklyn Rail), her intuitive playing style has evolved into a dynamic, cinematic sound that blends neoclassical, ambient, and jazz sensibilities.
Amanda Rogers, the soulful voice behind the keys, has captivated audiences with her introspective lyrics and haunting melodies for over two decades. Amanda’s unwavering ascent as a singer-songwriter, in the face of adversity, has been a testament to the depth and complexity of the human condition. In her latest EP album, 52 Hurts, Amanda Rogers delves into the profound emotional landscapes that define our existence. Inspired by the mysterious “52 Hertz Whale”, known as ‘the loneliest creature on Earth’ due to its unique and solitary vocalizations, Amanda draws a parallel to the solitary struggles we all face in our lives.
AUK (often stylized as AUk) is a local instrumental, improvisational indie rock quartet based in Syracuse, New York. Known for atmospheric soundscapes, they frequently draw comparisons to bands like Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Rós.
