Richmond:

Andriana Chobot — 6-8 pm

"Armed with an expressive alto", Andriana Chobot, a “theatrical voice that likely owes some debt to the emotionally forthright work of Rufus Wainwright and Sarah McLachlan” (SEVEN DAYS), brings an eclectic mix of pop-rock-indie-folk, with a touch of jazz, that immerses the listener into an original soundscape. Whether it's just her solo, delivering an soft drummed, electronic piano centered performance, or equipped with her band of local talent, she delivers renditions ranging in upbeat originals, covers and cool, ethereal ballads, with "fluttering piano...one very reminiscent of Imogen Heap, among others" (Local Blog; 'Classically Trained')

Waterbury:

Her music is heartfelt, moving, relative and genuine and takes you on a journey through life - the ups and downs, highs and lows and the spaces In Between.
