ASTRELLA CELESTE

To Open For Guns N Roses GILBY CLARKE @ the VIPER ROOM

JULY 25TH, 2009

To Support ITUNES release of “BLUE STAR” EP

 

ASTRELLA is due to perform a series of live events in and around the Los Angeles area in support of the release of her EP on ITunes "BLUE STAR".

 

Los Angeles, CA – July 06, 2009 - - After an over whelming reception at ASTRELLA CELESTE LA debut and record release party at the Hotel Cafe last month, the deeply talented, internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter has been invited to open for Gilby Clarke at the Viper Room on Saterday, July 24th, 2009 @ 8pm as well as a repeat performance at the Hotel Cafe, Aug 05 @ 7pm opening for the UKs Bobby Long.   Two of a handful of special apperances planned for this summer in support of the online release of BLUE STAR.



Credits for her EP, Blue Star, the Spanish translation of Astrella-Celeste, make for interesting reading.  Written by Astrella, with Kevin Hunter (Sheryl Crow), the album is a cavalcade of talent.  Produced by Yoad Nevo (Sugababes, Goldfrapp), with string arrangements by the legendary John Cameron (Les Miserables, Jose Carreras), and featuring Rat Scabies on drums, Andy Hobson (Pretenders) on bass, this album will have fans clamoring for more.  Interest in Astrella has been high with features already appearing in on ABC News, FOX & Friends, Sunday Times Magazine, OK! Magazine, Hello, Daily Mail and more.

 

Blue Star embodies Astrella Celeste’s lyrical and relaxing spirit by fusing jazz, pop and country and delivers a sound that is uniquely her own. Personal, affecting and sensitive with a sweet, almost innocent quality, her songs express a beautiful, casual lifestyle where it’s easy to believe that any “Dream” can be brought to Reality as this EP and its star-studded collaborators clearly attest. "The release of Blue Star is immensely satisfying” says Celeste. “It is the completion of a lot of hard work and a little luck. Throughout the process I have learned so much about myself. I am more at peace then ever before and now I just want to enjoy the ride."

 

First thrust into the spotlight in early childhood, Astrella released a hit single in Italy at age 8, which impelled the Pope to request a meeting with her.  A veteran of acting schools and dance troupes, Astrella also served as co-writer and backup vocalist for her world-renowned father, singer Donovan, and has repeatedly toured with him for the past 15 years.

 

Far beyond her collaborations with Donovan, Astrella's career has been richly enhanced by her continued collaborations with music’s elite; studio recording sessions, concert performances and home jams, with The Rolling Stones, David Gilmour, Brian Setzer, Donovan, Mark White, Happy Mondays, and Graham Nash at festivals including: Isle of Wight, Glastonbury, and Benicassim and intimate performances like the Kodak Theatre with David Lynch for PBS just to name a few.
