Tue, Aug 16 - Tue, Aug 16 2016
On August 16, Dutch vocalist and composer Vivienne Aerts will be performing at Rockwood Music Hall in New York, NY.
After two months of touring Europe, Vivienne is back in the city. She will bring her orginal works with live looping, electronics and other surprises. There will also be a little preview of the songs that will be featured on the soon to be recorded album! The concert will be free access to all.
Being occasionally uncategorizable, it is without a doubt that Vivienne has an unique and personal voice. Through her music, she aims to create an intimate connection between herself and the audience. Vivienne plays in band formation, duo, solo, supplemented with synthesizer, loopstation and effects. She surprises, challenges and tells stories. Her lyrics travel to the core of recognition; talk to the soul and open a barrel of emotions. Heartbreaking, singing of happiness, sometimes humorous, she tells about the things that make life beautiful.
