Astræa Live At 12 Bar Club, London For OnlineTV
Like the perfect muse Astræa, Greek for Star Maiden, takes the stage at the fabulous 12 Bar Club in London on a cold winters day to warm the cockles of all around her. With a voice that floats in the air like a butterfly she fills the room with an awe inspiring performance. In total command of her accompaniment. One is transfixed and transported to a world created by the soaring vocals only Astræa can provide.
Right next to her is an amazing sax player, female, which may be the reason she seems to have such a symbiotic relationship to Jennifer’s vocal gyrations. Notable too is the bass lines which were punctuating the rhythm perfectly in tune with the drums which never strayed outside the scope of the songs.
Who is Astræa
Raised in a small town in Minnesota with a real name of Jennifer Ann Keller she grew up around music, singing in local choirs and acting out many a Disney musical to anyone who would watch and listen. Her mother and father were both musicians, at least part time,
The voice of Astræa can be recognized from her soulful version of “You’re Not Alone” from a Lloyds Bank advertisement. Or maybe from her lush original track “Waiting” when it was heard for Tommy and Molly-Mae on Love Island.
Her main focus is using music therapy for people with schizophrenia and children with learning difficulties. All based on her classical background and studies in music and psychology. However I take it that she is really focused as a feminist and working to help out women get helped and boosted through the music industry. She is very passionate about this. You can get more information at the Astræa website which is very well done indeed.
