"Upbeat, powerful and tight show with her band that had the crowd dancing all night" (Dan-o)
"Musically adventurous, lyrically innovative ... unusual vocal flourishes and non-typical constructs, her lyrics bring a kind of magical realism to everything from human relationships to the battle between man and mosquito ... free-flowing, high-spirited, extremely engaging and utterly unique musical experience." (Chuck Foster - The Beat)
”The best live concert I have ever been to.”
“That was a party.” (fans)
BIOGRAPHY
Renee Asteria's music is multilingual and multicultural, blending folk-rock, reggae, latin, and more. The New Jersey-born, France-dwelling artist of Bolivian-Dutch descent draws her inspiration from lessons learned during her travels. She has collaborated with musicians from Argentina, California, NY, Europe and Africa.
In 2007 Renee Asteria completed her second production entitled 'Faces of Agent Double E' with producer Matias Martyn (Tibetan Monkey) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The album was released live on Rock & Pop FM, (95.5 FM Buenos Aires) and was followed by a 6-month tour of the USA where Renee Asteria performed with local bands in New York City, Connecticut, California and Louisiana.
After an excellent summer debut at the Montreal Jazz Festival with the Dub and the Restless, Renee Asteria is settling in SF Bay to work with 7th Street Sound - hard hitting roots reggae band from Berkeley - CA (http://myspace.com/7thstreetsound). Their high positive energy performances are not to be missed!
