Music Choice in The
Georgia Straight, Publish Date: 9-Mar-2006
"Netherlands-born chanteuse Astrid has described her music as global-retro/bossa urban–jazz chill—which is another way of saying North European lounge. Her voice and style recall Norway’s Beady Belle, but Astrid also plays flute and saxophone on several of her self-penned songs from the album Red Umbrella. It’s a sound best suited to small spaces like Rime, where Astrid plays this Wednesday (March 15), accompanied by several of Vancouver’s finest jazz musicians, including keyboard wizard Chris Gestrin and guitarist Kerry Galloway."
August 2005
Astrid's father, conductor Wim Sars, passed away Aug 8, 2005 in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
