About Me



My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/13/2005
Band Website: myspace.com/vannaardor
Band Members: Kristy Cliffe (Vanna Ardor) -Vocals/Guitar

Judging by her tattoos and piercings, one might expect the music of Vanna Ardor to be intense, hard-driving rock. This assumption would not be far from the truth. Past music endeavors have found Ardor collaborating with bands in the hardcore/metal scene, but as a solo artist, Vanna has traded a harsh sound for a vulnerable intensity.Hailing from Stow, OH, Vanna combines organic acoustic guitar with gentle folk vocals reminiscent of Dolores O'Riordan (of the Cranberries) to create a sound all her own. Equipped with stories and original songs, she brings a certain presence to the stage, engaging with audiences on an emotional, relational and spiritual level.For Vanna, music is an experience that draws people out of loneliness, leading them to a refuge of healing. Ardor's intention is for audiences to find hope through her art-form and discover how to emerge from the pain and chaos of life.Ardor has performed in over twelve cities regionally, opening for national acts such as Brian Vander Ark from the Verve Pipe, Red Wanting Blue, and Ligion. She is currently planning shows for the summer. For booking, please contact Lori Shearer, Deliberate Progression, [email protected]

Influences: Basically anything I hear, but I grew up on The Cranberries, Jennifer Knapp, Rebecca St. James, LaRue, Plumb, Alanis Morissette, Lisa Loeb, Natalie Imbruglia, and Jewel. A little guitar from bands like Tonic and Goo Goo Dolls. Also, I get inspiration from other things like: coffee, random music i hear that's different than what i play....and all that heavy stuff that my parents were skeptical of at first! lol
Sounds Like: I've been told Jewel, Alanis Morissette, or the Cranberries. But, I'll let you be the judge. ;)
Record Label: Currently Seeking New Representation
Type of Label: Indie
