Aurora is a new 3-piece band formed in late 2014. Aurora is the Roman ‘Goddess of Dawn’, which is associated with new beginnings. The moniker was apt being that the band members have been around in various outfits, and the recent collaboration is a fresh new beginning for these guys. The stripped back and raw feel of a ‘power trio’ suits these professional players, as it gives each member more space to shine.

Hi! I'm seventeen years old and have grown up in the small town of Gladstone, living here my whole life. I am currently in grade 12, just dancing my way through my last year of school completely unsure of what I want to do once I graduate. I have been singing since the day my mum decided I talked too much at just five years old, being taken to singing lessons. My life is music and what an opportunity this is. I had to take it.

Since jamming in 2011 Marcus and James had begun to form the foundations for the band and not soon later Jessamy came on board to introduce ethereal keyboard lines and vocals inspired by the the likes of Beth Gibbons and Regina Spektor. Jameson was later to join to fill in the crucial roll of bass guitar. In the midst is the production of an EP and in the future a full album.
