Aireene & the Itch’s songs are a mix of stompin’, swayin’, and timeless Americana reminiscent of front porch storytelling, of ghosts and the living, times of laughter and tears. Aireene was a soloist with the Glide Ensemble in San Francisco, toured nationally and internationally, and in 2016, was added to the roster of artists under the non-profit label, Little Village Foundation. She created A Color-Coded Symphony project, a musical experience connecting the audience’s ethnic origins to rhythms of the world, whose aim is to nurture curiosity and openness towards other cultures through music. Her latest project is The Sampaguitas, singing Filipino folk songs and originals in three-part harmonies.
“A rare breed of artist, soul singer, folk troubadour, a skiffle tear-stained street singer with a heart as big as the history of the music that drives her … a storyteller without borders or cultural limitations.” – No Depression
