Due to our upcoming world tour, we will be delaying our release party until May or June. Sad, we know... But hey! We're going on a world tour! I'm not certainly not complaining!
~This is the music I've dreamed about making since I was a little girl. It's intense and powerful and vulnerable and a little edgy. It's rock totally reinterpreted. I feel like we're always on the edge - constantly pushing our barriers - musically and personally. It's liberating. It's intense too.~
-Alexandra
***THE MUSIC***
The music of She Flies is a celebration of life.
The driving rhythms, haunting melodies, and soaring vocals of She Flies weave a spell, transporting you to a world that is at once breathtakingly ethereal and intensely real. With a compelling juxtaposition of raw, gutsy rock vocals and achingly beautiful countermelodies, She Flies challenges you to dream bigger, live more passionately, feel more deeply - to see the world with the wonder of a child.
***THE STORY OF SHE FLIES***
(Well, the abbreviated version... If you want the long one, just ask. ;)
~People come to me and tell me that our music changes them. They cry, they heal, they dance in public for the first time. They dream. Making the music changes me in the same way. All the clutter is stripped away, and I'm free to play, to dance, to let my soul spill out.~
-Ellen
In February of 2005, while attending a festival in Arizona, Alexandra Boone and Ellen Weaver met over doumbeks and Turkish coffee. Singing together at the urging of a mutual friend, Ellen and Alexandra knew immediately that their lives were about to change. A year later Ellen left Salt Lake City, Utah and her stable, comfortable life to join Alexandra in Los Angeles and pursue a dream.
In the months that followed, the band took off running. Alexandra and Ellen were touring the inter-mountain west by June, picking up enthusiastic new fans in every city they played. Their music left an impression, and before long She Flies was getting offers to play at festivals and clubs all over the country, collaborate with world-class musicians, and tour in the Carribean, Europe and the Far East.
Now, right on the heels of their first Hawaii tour, She Flies is preparing to head into their biggest adventure yet - the "Humanity's Team World Tour 2007".
From March 22 through April 29, 2007, the band will perform alongside New-York Times Best-Selling Author Neale Donald Walsch, along with celebrities, politicians, and spiritual leaders from every corner of the world. The tour will include stops in New Zealand, Japan, India, Portugal, Moldova, England, Germany, South Africa, Argentina, the United States (Atlanta, Georgia), and Canada (Vancouver, British Columbia).
***About the Artists***
Alexandra Boone was raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i. As the daughter of a singer and a record producer, she was immersed in the music industry even as a child. First recording at age five, Alexandra had successfully written and produced a musical by the time she was ten years old, and at sixteen, represented Hawai'i in the Polynesian Music Festival in the Cooke Islands. With hundreds of performances, and dozens of professional recordings under her belt by the time she graduated from high school, Alexandra moved to Los Angeles in 1998 to study music at the University of Southern California. Alexandra has appeared on over 50 professional recordings, including the best-selling new age CDs "Voyage," "Isle of Dreams," and "A Winter's Journey"(Sugo Records).
(Formerly known as Alexandra Childers, Alexandra Grill, Alexandra Grill-Childers)
Ellen Weaver grew up in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio in a family of classical musicians. Although she studied piano and flute as a child, Ellen's real strength was her voice. With training in classical, choral, and musical theatre singing, Ellen performed in dozens of concerts and stage productions. After graduating magna cum laude from Ohio State University, Ellen moved across the country to Idaho, and then Salt Lake City, where she lived until meeting Alexandra and moving to Los Angeles.
