Aria Movement 2011

RJC — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 01:57:49 +0000

This past weekend we got the opportunity to vend at the Aria Movement [Re]Tune Event. This movement was started to give Asian-American artists from all over the country a solid platform to showcase their talent to their adoring fan base. Aria Movement does this by taking the artist out of the confines of a computer screen and placing them promptly on a stage to give an intimate performance for fans to enjoy the whole musical experience. Bringing in artists from Cali such as Gabe Bondoc and Krystle Cruz and showcasing local talent as well, the show turned out pretty dope. There was nothing but love an support in the air. Props to the people that took the time to stop by the booth and pick up some gear!
