Ainslie Ayres
A multi-genre vocalist and composer, Ainslie Ayres fuses classical vocal repertoire with deep folk elements. Ayres applies her academic background in classical music and opera to her music, with unexpected turns and melodic lines that compliment her gentle yet emotionally powerful fingerpicking. Compared to the vocal stylings of Joni Mitchell and Eva Cassidy, Ayres emotes through every note and phrase, transporting the audience to another time and state. Through connecting elements of surrounding nature to the nature of ourselves, Ainslie invites audiences to listen and feel with her.
