Aya’s really growing as a performer – her voice smacks you with its confidence – and she’s surrounded herself with some great musicians, including Matt Harpster on guitar, the versatile Aaron Flinn on bass and former Roomful of Blues drummer Jason Corbiere. |

Matt Harpster (left) and Aya Inoue (right) of The Amida Bourbon Project made their first radio appearance at Big Heavy World on the ‘Tazday Twilight Blues’ show last week on 105.9 FM The Radiator. With an upcoming release of their debut self-titled EP, The Amida Bourbon Project has two performances in Burlington before they embark on a European tour this May. The Amida Bourbon Project appeals to anyone looking to give something beautiful a listen. |
