PICTURE THIS: Azure Ray @ Swedish American Hall, SF 9/20/12

September 25. 2012 | By Don Albonico

Even after a 12-hour ordeal getting from Los Angles to San Francisco, Azure Ray and Soko pulled off a dynamic show. After rushing to get their equipment set up, Soko tuned her guitars and off we went into her set. Both funny and serious, leading the audience as her back up singers. I do believe Soko came away with a bunch of new fans from her set.

Azure Ray (Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink) pulled songs from their new EP As Above So Below and from their vast reservoir of music for their show. The song “The Hart Has its Reasons” from the new EP was incredible. Dreamy singing gliding over the sound of the ocean seemed meant for just San Francisco. San Francisco has a special place in its heart for the ocean and these lady’s brought it inside for us.
