Ashia and the Bison Rouge:
"Captivating" Portland Mercury
"Absolutely tremendous!" Jeffrey Callison, KXJZ Capitol Public Radio
"one can't help but hear a collage of influences. Grzesik can certainly give Joanna Newsom a run for her whimsy, she possesses the old-world charm and quirky dramatics of Regina Spector and the cello-punk instincts of Bonfire Madigan, and her voice vacillates between the throaty alto of Amanda Palmer and the ethereal soprano of Maria Callas. Simply put, she's got a little bit of everything." Portland Monthly
"Cellist and Singer, Ashia Grzesik... is a three-ring slyph, a vaudeville dervish, a woman after our own hearts.Aptly entitled Bison Rouge (her new EP), it ranges from parlor popular to European avante garde. It is beautiful." Her song-writing reflects longing for her Slavic roots with Chopineasque and gypsy musings and the blues, rock, and open harmonies of the New World, as well as Classical infused Chamber Pop. Her songs and stories both humorous and serious, invoke dreams of ancestors, the environment, and love all fall into their own space in the arrangements.
She has performed with Cirque du Soliel's "O" production, received a Drammy, 2010, for her original compositions for Third Rail Theater's, "The Gray Sisters", and performs her solo act extensively as well as with Vagabond Opera and The Portland Cello Project.
Ashia's performances vary from the theatrical cabaret, sit-down concert halls, rowdy bars, and keen little dives intended for acoustic intimacy and subtlety. What else could become of a Polish immigrant with a whiskey lovin' blues singer father and a classical music ballet devoted mother, but a cello score writing, skinny leggin burlesqueing, indie misfit, wide eyed feet on the floor mesh of cello and song?
Recording, printing, and publicizing and album can cost a pretty penny, so we're putting together this show, along with an online fundraiser to help offset the cost.
