Ayla Nereo’s voice hits straight to the heart. Wielding an array of loop-pedals, she layers sweeping vocal melodies into majestic harmonies, weaving in syncopated rhythms and instrumentation to create an immersive soundscape of music medicine. Her lucid storytelling and lyrical imagery are water for the thirsty soul; sounds embodying the many folds of our own selves. It is music both timeless and modern; circle songs and roots music meet folktronica. Each performance is a journey: an inspired, wondrous experience that holds you by the heart and doesn’t let go.
