Band Biography :
With the release of her debut album Red Umbrella, Astrid introduces a genuine
fusion of Bossa/Pop/Jazz and Chill, and reveals herself as an artist with a
style and sound of her own. Red Umbrella was produced by Kerry Galloway and
co-produced by Astrid. Born and raised in the Netherlands, Astrid developed her
musical sensibilities early with the support of her father, well known conductor
Wim Sars. He played organ and conducted Gregorian masses in cathedrals, and at a
young age Astrid sang in her father’s church choirs along with her two sisters.
Listening to jazz and Brazilian music with her parents at home also profoundly
influenced her style. Over the years Astrid has built on her musical background,
successfully creating a unique sound. She is a charismatic vocalist and
versatile, skilled performer playing alto sax and flute. She has performed and
collaborated with many great Canadian and European musicians, and some of her
music has been featured in film, documentaries and dance productions. Besides
having just finished her debut CD Red Umbrella and performing with her band,
Astrid also performs with New York poet Leanne Averbach in Vancouver, Toronto
and New York.
