May Rio (NYC) and FIAMMA

The Rainbow Bistro, 76 Murray Street, Ottawa

First Crush presents...

May Rio (NYC) https://mayrio.bandcamp.com

It is May Rio’s personality and deftness that ultimately shine and make her music the unexpected journey that it is. It is intelligent like a riddle and catchy like an over-saturated cartoon. In May's very personal and nearly diaristic songs, "simple" and romantic feelings are not taken for granted, and they're shown to always be more complicated in enriching and inspiring ways.

FIAMMA (Ottawa) https://soundcloud.com/fiammamusic?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1

Laura Bruno, aka FIAMMA, is a bedroom pop artist based in Ottawa, Ontario. Her sound is eclectic, grabbing from many of her varying influences. Each of her songs evokes a unique spatial atmosphere. She layers lush vocals over bright, synthy sounds, and messy guitar riffs. Since recently teaching herself guitar and bass, her sound has evolved to be more instrumental. Laura is currently studying classical voice performance at Carleton University. In addition to her music, she also experiments with sound art using field recordings, as well as with data-generated sound.
